Organic foods such as fruit and veg’s are ripened on the plant for longer thus they are better for you because the true value comes as the ripen. But there are people who believe that even organic will soon loose there health benefits because year after year in the same soil depletes the minerals in the soil making them less beneficial. hope this helps also they do not use pesticides.
Testing has proven that organic foods are not better or safer. In fact they are more likely to contain food poisoning and bugs and worms, but that is more natural. Some people are just misguided. they may be better for the environment at the farms that produce it, but even that is questionable. They cost more because they don’t benefit from modern fertilizers and pest control, this results in lower yields
People who I know who eat organic food tell me that they like it because it is grown without dangerous pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
They say that even though we wash off food before we eat it or cook it, these chemicals are absorbed into the inside of the food, and then we eat them. So organic food tastes better. Organic food is usually grown locally, by small farmers, instead of huge corporations, so they don’t have the huge distribution networks so it costs more to get to market. Finally aside from tasting better, organic foods do not contribute to pollution of our streams and rivers as do the runoff from conventionally grown foods.
No doubt you will have heard organic is better for your body (and also the environment).
A new 4 year study in Europe shows organic fruits and vegetables contain 40% more antioxidants which can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease, and they also have higher levels of beneficial minerals such as iron and zinc.
The most amazing differences are in milk, because organic milk can contain up to 90% more antioxidants and desirable essential fatty acids.
Why is it more expensive? 1) less yield and 2) demand exceeds supply. For tips on how to buy organic at better value:
