Celebrated for championing organic and healthy living in the UAE, Organic Foods & Café (OFC) started in 2005 with a love of food that's good for you and not harmful to the planet. At that time, there was nothing organic available in the UAE. The founder, Nils, wanted to make a real difference, by providing healthy, nutritious and organic options for Dubai's citizens. These include: .
- Fresh fruit and vegetables
- Meat and fish
- Dairy products
- Baked goods
- Supplements
- General groceries
- Personal care
- Household cleaning items
WHAT DOES 'ORGANIC FOOD' MEAN COMPARED TO STANDARD FOOD?
The term "organic" refers to the process of how certain foods are produced. Organic foods are grown or farmed without the use of artificial chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or pesticides. Non-organic foods are produced in the conventional way which includes the use of artificial chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides etc. These chemicals accumulate within our bodies through various contaminated foods, producing chronic illnesses. There are many studies that prove the harmful impact of eating unnatural food.
At OFC, we are careful with the products we carry and the brands we say yes to. We aim to only have products that contain clean ingredients, which is why you will never see a product that contains high-fructose corn syrup, chemicals, pesticides or hormones on our shelves.
