What you should know about organic food

The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It should not contain genetically modified animals (GMOs).

The term "organic", as it is commonly known, was first used by Justus von Loig in 1845. He coined the phrase "organisch", which means life-giving, to describe manure's properties. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.

The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.

There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier.
