Healthy Eating in Paphos – Keto, Gluten-Free and Vegan Options

Paphos is a city with a great climate and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. However, when it comes to conscious and special dietary choices, both tourists and residents often have questions. Where can you find food without added sugar? What should you do if you are gluten intolerant? How can you follow a keto or vegan lifestyle without spending hours searching?

Below is a practical overview of the main healthy eating approaches and what people usually pay attention to when choosing products.

Food Without Added Sugar

Avoiding added sugar is increasingly becoming a conscious choice, even without following a strict diet. In regular shops in Cyprus, many products contain refined sugar or other sweeteners, especially ready-made snacks, sauces and so-called “healthy” bars.

People usually look for products without added sugar, sweets sweetened with erythritol or stevia, as well as sauces and spreads with clear labelling. For those who consciously avoid sugar, choosing products with transparent labelling makes the process much easier.

Keto and Low-Carb Nutrition

Keto nutrition requires special attention to ingredients. It is important that products contain minimal amounts of carbohydrates and sugars. Common choices include keto bread, crackers, snacks and sugar-free sweets, as well as products high in healthy fats.

For convenience, keto products suitable for a low-carb diet are easier to choose in one place, without having to check the ingredients of every item individually.

Gluten-Free Diet

A gluten-free diet is essential for people with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. It is important not only to avoid wheat, but also to rely on clear gluten-free labelling that confirms the product is suitable for this type of diet. In Paphos, such products are available, but they are often spread across different shops.

Typical choices include gluten-free flour, pasta, bread and snacks with clear gluten-free labelling. It is most convenient when gluten-free products are grouped in a dedicated category.

Vegan and Plant-Based Eating

Vegan and plant-based lifestyles are becoming increasingly popular in Paphos, both among locals and visitors.

Many people pay attention to ensuring that products contain no ingredients of animal origin. This applies not only to basic foods, but also to sweets, snacks, sauces and ready-made products. For many, it is important that their diet is fully plant-based and matches their chosen lifestyle.

When Food Delivery Is the Most Convenient Option

There is not always time to visit multiple shops, read labels and compare products. This is especially relevant for tourists without a car, families with children and people with specific dietary needs.

In such cases, ordering food online with delivery across Cyprus can be the most convenient option. It allows you to select products that suit your needs in advance and receive them without unnecessary trips.

The online shop Green Monday offers plant-based products without added sugar, gluten-free options and keto-friendly food, with delivery available all over the island.
