Organic, Eco Shops & Health Food Stores in Madrid

Want to eat healthy and organic and don’t know where to start?

Madrid has recently hopped onto the healthy organic wagon with eco alternatives gradually sprouting around town. The paradox is surprising, bearing in mind that Spain is one of Europe's leading organic producers, yet most of its organic produce is sadly exported.

I went through that initial clueless phase of not knowing where to find all the fancy sounding new ingredients when I converted to an anti inflammatory diet. Ever since I was diagnosed with leaky gut and an autoimmune disorder, I have been investigating the best health food stores and organic shops in town.

Madrid is my hometown and where I trained as a culinary chef. Over the years I have discovered many organic, eco shops and health food stores where I stock on fresh ingredients weekly to create delicious nourishing recipes. This shopping guide will help you navigate the best options in Madrid, so you can find everything you need for your healthy recipes.

There is a wide range of health food stores and zero waste shops in Madrid, I have hand picked my favourite ones just for you. 

Naturitas - My go to online store for food supplements, superfoods and personal care products, great value for money and impeccable delivery service.

Salud Mediterranea - One of my favourite health food stores in Madrid, with three stores spread around the city as well as an online shop. You can practically find everything you need in one single place.

Herbolario Navarro - With over two hundred years tradition, this well known food store in Spain has stores all over the country. Check their online store or pop by their shop in La Castellana to stock on some healthy ingredients.

Herbolario Buda - My preferred health food store, the owner Santiago has amazing recommendations and is always willing to help with my unusual requests. I always stock here on Kookie Cat cookies for when the sweet crave kicks in and I have no time to bake.

Espacio Organico - The real deal if you are looking for your organic supermarket soulmate. An eco food concept in itself; with its own restaurant, holistic centre hosting interesting workshops and yoga classes, and recently launched online shop. My go to place for a full shopping spree.

Bio C Bon - Scattered around Madrid city centre, this french born organic supermarket has a good product offering though slightly limited for my tasting. Good option for a grab and go when you are missing that ingredient for your healthy recipe.
