 What is organic food?
Food that is grown and processed without the use of toxic
chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides and other artificial treatments is called
organic food.
Why organic food is better?
The organic food brought by farmers directly from their farms is
better for you and your family. There are over 7000 various artificial
preservatives, colors,
 sweeteners, residual antibodies, hydrogenated fats and
processing aids that are used in food processing. However, none of these are
present in organic based products. To increase the yield of food grains, a
cocktail of poisonous chemicals, highly toxic pesticides, herbicides,
fungicides, antibiotics & growth hormones are used in intensive farming, which
are even banned in developed countries. nearly 90% of pesticides never reach the
pests, instead of that they end up in contaminating soil, air and water thus
enter in the food chain. So, organic food's strength lies in what it doesn't
contain.
Organic food is much higher in
nutritive content
 As compared to the non-organic food, fresh organic produce
contains an average 50% more vitamins, minerals, enzymes produces. In straight
forward nutritional analyses, organic food trends to have more dry weight and
nutrients in it.
