How To

Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products

Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. No hormones or antibiotics are used. In addition, they are produced under conditions that allow them to retain their nutritional value and freshness for longer periods.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. This reduces air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
4. Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. These harmful substances can be avoided by sticking to whole foods like meat, eggs, fish and nuts as well as seeds, beans, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
