Many people in mart purchase imported fruits, vegetables and dairy products though are far more expensive than locally produced food items.
But do you know health nutritionist prefer local vegetables and fruits? They recommend them because they are fresh and are more beneficial for our health. The imported items are produced, packed and then travel thousands of miles through air, train or ships which effect the freshness.
They are also better in fulfilling the need of required nutrients because same fruits produced in different countries and environment will have different nutrients. So eat local to meet the local requirements.
Purchasing food items from local sellers also helps the economy to run smoothly because it doesn’t transfer national wealth into another country rather the money is only transferred from one citizen to another citizen resulting in better distribution of wealth.
