Health Food in Cape Town
Are you looking for organic or health food in Cape Town?
No worries, you will find many health food stores and eateries in the Mother City. Mainly they are located in the bigger shopping centers, but there are also some smaller stores with more personal service in almost every neighborhood. Then there are serveral health food shopping facilities based in the Western Cape, where you can order online and either get the organic food delivered right to your door or collect it in person. If you are on a special diet it can be quite time-consuming to source for special products for a restricted diet, but I noticed when we moved to Cape Town that there are lots of things I had to hunt after years ago in other well-developed countries. Now in 2010, there are many health food sections even in the bigger supermarkets, where you will find special aisles with lots of wheat free, gluten free and dairy free products. The organic food sections and sections for special dietary requirements in the supermarkets Woolworths, Checkers, Spar and Pick and Pay are constantly growing, also keep an eye on their own organic ranges and even enquire at your local store who might be interested to add the product to its stock. As dairy replacement you will get soy, rice and goats milk in many places and almond milk powder is available at many chemists too.
