Entrepreneurship – healthy and tasty

“0% animal, 100% organic, 0% GM* and 100% vegetable” – this is the motto of Naturalmente, a new company producing home-made pies and bread.

Ana Brazuna, with a degree in nutrition sciences, is the only person in the company, which currently produces for 11 different shops in the Lisbon area. She focuses on producing gluten-free bread based on whole-grain rice, which can contain apple, pumpkin or miso, and pies with seaweed and vegetables, tofu, seitan and tempeh. She says that she decided to “take a risk in a market where there are few products but increasing demand”. And although she only started the activity a few months ago “there are enough orders to feel a need to create another job”. The pies and bread and not only organic, vegetarian, home-made and produced in a sustainable manner, but they also taste great. And, considering what is normally the case with organic products, the prices are reasonable.
