“For me, sustainable cooking and eating is based on these pillars: On the one hand, maximum use and reuse of ingredients. On the other, the use of seasonal, organic and Km 0 products, which provide the maximum number of nutrients, economic savings and cause less polluting impact by avoiding transport by shopping nearby).In addition, it is important to eat what is necessary, not to overeat, as happens in the first world where there are related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes… A situation which collides with what happens in the third world, where they die of hunger. And, finally, we must demand as a responsible consumer to know the origin and the way of growing our food. We have to avoid pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, chlorine, sulphites, etc, in our food, since all this affects what we eat and our health”, explains Carolina Morán.
Carolina Morán, in addition to Business Director of Kalea Group, is a chef and nutritionist.
