What kinds of organic, vegetarian and allergy-friendly foods are available, such as organic produce, gluten-free products, meat substitutes for vegetarians, etc?

I know there is an organic market not far from Parque Metropolitano on Saturdays. Some of the food in Supermaxi is advertised as organic. I think vegetarians can find things to eat here, but in restaurants it can be more difficult. - Jan 2011
