Delhiites have started watching what they eat. Sale of organic foods, seen as a passing fad till a few years ago, has soared, thanks to a rising focus on health and environment in the Capital.
Produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, antibiotics or growth hormones, organic food has carved a market for itself in the past three years. According to a Yes Bank Ltd research, the market for the products in Delhi-NCR is around Rs. 125 crore.
The Altitude Store, which stocks 1,700 organic products, has recorded a 500% growth in sales in two years. “People started with organic vegetables and meat but moved on to eggs, bread, pulses and even pasta,” said owner Ayesha Grewal.
