Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert 2014



Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert

March 21 - 23, 2014

This is a very popular Expo in Montreal. There are always huge crowds attending. At times one can find it difficult to circulate in the aisles between the kiosks, or to approach an exhibit. People are genuinely interested in the products presented: they sample the food or health related products like vitamins, or simply talk to the exhibitors and ask questions.



There is a verity of foods to be sampled. Some unique products are displayed right at the entry to the exhibit hall, so one can get an idea what to look for and what to taste.



This year, once again, Monsieur Basilic has a large floor display. He is offering a new product - a Basil Lemonade - with a unique, refreshing and great taste.



One can also try completely raw and uncooked cakes from Rawesome, or other delicious raw vegan creations from Crudessance.



There are many other delicious foods and drinks to taste.





One cannot imagine a kitchen without a cutting board. Planet Creation kiosk presents very unique and attractive maple and black walnut cutting boards.



Those above are only a few items chosen from  a great viriety exhibited at the expo. The best way to experience it all is to visit the Expo for oneself.

The Expo is being held at the Montreal's Palais des Congres Centre. To find out more about the opening hours, go the Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert 2014 website.

Well presented are kitchen and bathroom areas with many well designed and even exclusive items.





The bedroom is also not forgotten. There are many beds to try, all of them with orthopaedic mattresses, and some of them with extra features like an adjustable hight for the upper torso or a an in-build massager.



For the living room, two items that attract attention are artificial fire places. On the picture below to the right, the the burning fire flames are imitated with water vapours. The "fire" is only slightly warm to the touch. In addition, in the near future, there will be a possibility of changing the colour of the "fire" according to one's preference at the time.




Also, there are many decorative items to choose from at this show.



There are also kiosks where one can taste various Quebec-produced foods or drinks.
