New Zealand is rich in natural organic food and has some of the tastiest fruit and vegetables anywhere.

We were amazed by the displays in the supermarkets when we first arrived here. The fruit and vegies here look larger than those we had eaten in Europe and are much tastier. Obviously the soil, air and water here have something to do with that.

We did find the prices a little high relative to my New Zealand salary so we looked around and came across a Chinese fruit and veg store on Te-Irirangi Drive where the prices are much lower.

We love fresh fish too and discovered a great supply at the Auckland fish market. The fish is fresh from the ocean every day. You'll also be able to book yourself on a cooking course there, something I should look into before I cremate another poor fish !

While out on a Coast 2 Coast tour owned and operated by Peter and Donna Hamilton, we were introduced to Active Manuka honey from the Honeyonline centre.

The fantastic healing powers of UMF Manuka Honey are well documented and have been known and used by the Maori for hundreds of years.

Manuka Honey is used in a wide range of natural organic health and beauty products. This stuff is amazing !

Another New Zealand food product we came across is the Giant New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel, which as it's name suggests has green lips. Not really my thing but Elena loves to eat them. Green Lipped Mussel Extract is the most effective natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and back pain available and it doesn't cause any of the side effects associated with conventional medicines.

With so much available on our doorstep we really wanted to try everything, so we bought a good nutrition book for guidance and now eat more healthily than we ever did when we lived in Europe, the results have been truly astounding.

If you're a raw vegan, stop by one of the Auckland health food stores and you'll feel like you're in paradise. If like us you enjoy fish, wine or honey, it's all available here too. Book an evening at one of the first rate vegetarian restaurants Auckland has to offer for an experience that will be both memorable and healthy.
