How To
Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products
Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. They do not use industrial solvents or sewage effluent in their production. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
- Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
