In Geneva, more than 50 cafés and restaurants will take part in the event, producing home-made menus comprising of local, seasonal products. Running from 17 to 27 September, la Semaine du Goût is an opportunity to remind the city’s residents about some of the culinary strengths of this region.
Knowitall.ch readers are being offered the chance to try out a range of natural wellness drinks produced in Switzerland using fresh spirulina, organic fruit and Alpine herbs (see offer at end of article).
Currently regarded as a revolution in the nutrition and health sector, spirulina microalgae are known to have outstanding nutritional properties, with long-term benefits that combine to combat stress and fatigue while at the same detoxifying the body and strengthening the immune system. They are also believed to aid weight loss and digestion as well as improve both hair and skin.
Generally taken in dry powder, tablet or pastille form, spirulina is now being produced for the first time as a fresh drink by the Swiss company, SpirAlps SA, based in Vétroz, Valais. Since the nutritional properties of spirulina are considered to be much higher when taken fresh, Spiralps drinks are a true innovation in terms of wellness and, crucially, are also much pleasanter-tasting than the dried form.
