How To

Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products

Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality 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. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs 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. That helps reduce air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
