In downtown Shanghai, I found a canteen with transparent ingredients.

Superman visits the store

Superman is the new column of foodie Superman. I will share with you some special restaurants and vegetable markets that attach importance to the choice of ingredients and environmentally friendly. The content in the column is guaranteed to be Superman's out-of-pocket experience, isolated from advertising. What else do you know that is interesting? welcome to recommend it to me.

Foodie Superman went to Shanghai on a business trip last week. I heard that there are many kinds of restaurants in Modu, so I asked you to recommend good restaurants with strict selection of ingredients in my Wechat account and moments. Here, I would like to express my special thanks to the readers in Shanghai: some recommend hot pot supplied directly from the farm, some recommend snack mileage in fresh vegetables and mushrooms, and various vegetarian restaurants that are sophisticated in ingredients. Superman is written down in a small book.

-- this is a gourmet radar receiving line.

Time is limited, unable to visit one by one, Superman finally chose a restaurant with the most mouthful name: Yueheng Food Collection, but fortunately its English name is more direct, Hunter Gatherer, which means hunter and gatherer. According to recommended friends, they focus on the traceability of ingredients, that is, the source of open food supplies and planting norms. "how confident does the boss have to be about his ingredients? Don't you dare do that! "

Canteen, oh no, what does the "food bazaar" look like

After finishing his work on Friday night, it was past 19:00 for Superman to cross from Pudong to Puxi. When he walked into this restaurant decorated like a canteen, he found that there were still many customers.

The guide map at the entrance is like a treasure map. When we get closer, we find that it is not only a canteen, but also a "food bazaar" that combines supermarkets, fresh vegetable stalls, healthy food and creative food, freshly squeezed fruit juices, and roasted coffee shops. The decoration style is neat and bright, with an open kitchen. There is no wall to separate the kitchen from the diners, and labels are used to expose all food-related processes to customers, from fresh ingredients and food processing to culinary art and food retail are all combined in this space that can be touched and felt.

Map of the restaurant, the dining area is in the center. In this food-centered experience space, diners not only enjoy a good meal, but also experience the food in a variety of ways and feel the food as it is.

The vegetables and fruits in the fresh area come from the restaurant's own farm. The label states the specific origin and method of consumption.

Cold-pressed juice bar, filled with cold-pressed fruit juices, organic soy milk and beverage products freshly squeezed that day. The high temperature of the juicer will damage the flavor of the food, so the restaurant chose to use cold pressing to make juice.

At the table, the food area mainly includes spaghetti, DIY salad bowls, main dishes and barbecue. Everyone picks up the meal here and orders the meal, and finally settles down for dinner.

Superman first looked at the freshest vegetables and fruits of the season, picked out the food he had coveted for a long time, and then went to the retail area to pick out meat, wine and cooking condiments. When you are tired of shopping, you can order a cup of coffee with a snack. As the restaurant is full of "blackboard"-like papers to introduce the stories behind the ingredients, as well as personal introductions from farm farmers, although I only stayed in the market for an hour and a half, I felt that there were still many mysteries and colored eggs undiscovered.

To eat, you not only have to pursue taste.

You need to know the source of the food?

Most of the time we don't want to eat out in a restaurant because we don't trust the "back kitchen" of the restaurant-how do I know the ingredients in my mouth are clean? Has it been shoddy? What kind of oil do you use? When he walked into this food market, Superman felt much more at ease.

Because bazaars from seeds to vegetables, fruits, processed products, and then to every meal, open kitchen and detailed introduction of the origin of ingredients, are trying to be "completely transparent". Food made on the spot, such as nut jam, provides a sense of transparency in front of you.

Intelligent nut jam grinder. In the transparent glass cover are almond nuts, cashew nuts and other nuts. just press the button and rotate the handle to make your own nut jam. The lunch boxes used for picking up are also made of bioplastics and can be degraded.

And how does the restaurant achieve "full transparency" for foods with long growth cycles or complex processing procedures? The food label on the site shows that 70% of the restaurant ingredients in the market are supplied directly from their own farms, and the other 30% are from qualified co-suppliers.

The two farms with their own farm restaurants are located in Yantai, Shandong Province and Chongming Island, Shanghai. The ecological planting method of the farm is explained in detail on its website, and the biodegradable bowls made in the restaurant are also transported back to its own farm for composting.

Self-owned farms use natural farming techniques, even with rotational farming, using natural enemies such as seven-star ladybugs to fight pests, pollinating by bees and using locally derived microbes as fertilizer. The restaurant regularly organizes consumers to make return visits and visits, and consumers can chat directly with farm farmers face-to-face. At the beginning of the operation, the output of its own farm was relatively small, and the restaurant would mark on the small blackboard next to the order board: "Today, the proportion of vegetables from our farm is XX%."

When choosing a cooperative supplier, the minimum standard for this restaurant is no chemical fertilizers, pesticides and GMOs, but it does not have to meet the standards of organic products.

There are standards and declarations for their choice of ingredients on each plate.

Superman randomly interviewed employees in the fresh and cooking areas: "is all the food sold here pesticide-free and fertilizer-free?" The two employees answered confidently and sincerely:
