Valentine’s Day: A Passion for Red Food!

🌶️💘🍅 Happy Valentine’s Day! For Grandma Sita, Valentine’s Day is about sharing love through vibrant, nourishing, and sustainable food. And what better way than with red-themed plant-based delights? Red foods like tomatoes, peppers, beets, and berries are not just romantic; they’re packed with flavour, nutrients, and love!

👵♻️ Grandma Sita’s sustainable Valentine’s Day ideas, bringing a bit of creativity can make this celebration more meaningful, personal, and planet-friendly!
🍽️ Cook with Love & No Waste – A delicious meal made from seasonal, plant-based red foods. Use up leftovers creatively, store food properly, and compost scraps.
💌 Go for Digital or Handmade Cards – Skip store-bought cards and create a heartfelt note on recycled paper or send an e-card.
🌸 Choose Sustainable Flowers – Opt for locally grown, potted plants, or dried flowers instead of imported bouquets with plastic wrapping.
🍫 Ethical & Package-Free Treats – Choose fair-trade, package-free chocolates or homemade desserts to indulge responsibly.
🎁 Give Thoughtful, Low-Waste Gifts – Experiences (a picnic, nature walk, or DIY spa day) or upcycled, handmade presents are more personal and sustainable.
🕯️Set the Mood Sustainably – Use beeswax or soy candles, dim the lights, and embrace a cosy, eco-friendly ambience.

📗Valentine’s Day is named after the martyred Christian saint named Valentine. He was a bishop who performed marriages between forbidden couples.
