Asuncion - Post Report Question and Answers

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

I don't think there's much, but there are plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Paraguayans like their beef. Eating out for vegetarians could be a challenge. - Aug 2011


I wouldn't bet any of the vegetables are organic. Pesticides are abundant here. - Jun 2011


Lots of great vegetables from the farmer's market literally trucked in the same day. There are availability of some gluten free products. Not much for vegetarians unless you are willing to eat local vegetables and dairy. None of the great frozen products available in the States. - Feb 2011
