Care in nutrition and respect for the environment to limit the ecological footprint are two aspects that we pay more and more attention to. In order to better understand how we eat and try to get the best food, there are a multitude of applications, some of which are dispensable and others that are more useful. In this last group is Kuri, this is how the app works to be more ecological when eating
The main peculiarity that we find with Kuri is that it is an application only for users who have an iOS device, since for now it is only found in the App Store Another drawback is that the application is not currently available in Spanish, there are only versions in English, French and German.
How Kuri works
Those interested in knowing how Kuri works and how it can help to minimize our ecological footprint has not stopped growing since the application came to the App Store in 2020. The Kuri app is based on three pillars: personalized nutrition, food suggestions with less environmental impact and seasonal product suggestions. Kuri is completely free, although in the month of October it will include a paid subscription to obtain new functions.
When you open the Kuri app, you can receive personalized recipes based on your habits when cooking, type of diet that you are following with their corresponding food restrictions or your lifestyle.The large number of filters with which the user is allowed to customize the recipes he wants to receive guarantees a remarkable variety of results, with more than 700 recipes within reach.
Another function included is the possibility of receiving personalized diets based on your needs (or the food you have available in the fridge). It is also a very useful application to add the shopping list, since it can quickly transform recipes into a list with everything you need to get in the supermarket to be able to cook it.
Learn about seasonal foods
Another of the advantages that you can have as a Kuri user if you are not very specialized in gastronomic culture is its updated list of food from season. Zero kilometer products, those that do not have to travel long distances to get from the field to your table, have a lower impact on the environment and are more recommended, so it is always useful to know what these foods are.
The main drawback is that Kuri's current database only covers the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and France Knowing what they are seasonal food, you will be able to make your purchases in a much more responsible way and you will also contribute to the development of local agriculture.
If you use the app from Spain, it is advisable to consult the seasonal foods of France, which will be the closest to our agricultural reality. Another alternative for Spanish users is to consult the OCU website, which has a fruit and vegetable calendar to find out when we should buy each product and, from from there, look for recipes in Kuri.
