If you are an advocate of growing organically, you cannot avoid getting asked the question “is organic food better?”. I love to be able to honestly answer “yes” to that one!
Usually though, the inquirer is not satisfied with such short an answer, he or she wants facts! Well, I’m pleased to oblige, let’s look at some good reasons to why “yes” is the right answer indeed!
Nutrients Organically grown food contains more nutrients, like vitamins and phytonutrients, than conventionally grown. This has been shown in more than one study. Plants grown in an organic manner do not grow so fast, and therefore are able to store more nutients than their fastgrowing counterparts in the non organic garden.
Less chemicals Bugs, micro organisms and fungi are among the pests that farmers need to protect their crops from. In conventional farming this is achieved through the use of strong chemicals, designed to harm or kill the targeted pests. However, these chemicals also affect other organisms, including you and me. Studies cannot foresee all the impact they can have since they all mix in the body, most likely creating synergi effects we can only guess about. if we eat organic food we at least cut out some of these chemicals from our diet.
Better taste Blindfold test results usually show that organic food tastes better than non organic. How is this possible? Well, if the vegetables or fruit accumulate more nutrients because they are allowed a longer growth period, then it is more than likely that they also accumulate more of the substances giving them great taste. quite obvious when you stop and think about it.
The environment One obvious reason that organic is better is the fact that it is better for the environment. There are more reasons for this than the absence of chemicals, but I will not go deeper into this subject in this article
Conclusion My belief is that there is no doubt that the answer is YES to the question “is organic food better?”. Hopefully, there is no doubt in your mind either after this information!
