Igro

I had a great conversation with the owner of this stall who tried her best to convince me to buy some of her home-​grown healthy things.
I am fairly sceptical about health food shops, plant extracts intended to boost intelligence, sharpness or general physical fitness. That said I’m sceptical about virtually everything.
This stall specialises in a variety of natural foods, seeds, herbs and flowers. Now the range on offer when I was there was pretty extensive, a lot was focuses on trying to combat the stresses and strains of city life (detox boxes and the like)
I was almost talked into buying ginseng at one point but that soon passed. The woman running the stall explained that she was re-​branding soon and was moving towards pre-​grown plants as that’s what she believed people wanted instead of having to do it themselves.
A pack of one of the many herbs and remedies on offer is £5. I’m not quite sure how that competes with products elsewhere, but at least you can be sure it’s all grown locally and not chemically altered or enhanced in any way.
If you are a health food nut or are looking for something non-​chemical to perk you up I would give it a go, that said, I’m sticking to ridiculous amounts of caffeine to get me through my day.
