March is widely known as Veggie Month which is all about highlighting the positive benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. Here at Simon Baynes Wholesale, we’re not going to try and encourage you to become a vegetarian, but we’re going to highlight why eating your veg will provide you with many health benefits as well as recommend veg-friendly places that you should dine out at in York.

 

We deliver hundreds of veg produce to businesses across York and beyond on a daily basis. Veg is at the heart of many dishes as it provides you with many health benefits. Our vegetables are all locally sourced, which means there are plenty of added nutrients in the produce which are normally lost if the produce is imported from far away (you can find out about why locally sourced food is better for you in one of our previous blog posts, click here). Veg is vital for health and maintenance of your body and if it isn’t part of your day-to-day diet, then you are likely to increase the risk of chronic diseases. Veg is low in fat and calories and is rich in potassium, vitamin A and C, Folate and more – veg is truly your friend.

 

We’re regularly asked what veg-friendly places there are in York which we’d recommend eating out at. York is filled with an abundance of places to dine at, that unfortunately, we cannot name them all. Below you’ll find three places we’d recommend. If you want any additional recommendation then ask us via our Facebook or Twitter page.
