Why Organic?
There is growing evidence that eating and using organic products may be better for your overall health, wellness and even taste-buds!
Nutrition: Many people believe organic food contains higher levels of vitamins and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium as well as antioxidants and other phytonutrients. Studies are currently being conducted to help confirm this.
Engineered Additives: Organic foods do not contain many of the food additives thought to be (at least in part) responsible for some of our health epidemics. On the list of ingredients banned by some organic certifying agencies are hydrogenated fat, trans-fats, artificial sweeteners and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Pesticides: Organic farming does not allow the use of conventional pesticides, thus minimizing poisonous residues found on organic products.
Genetically Modified (or Engineered) Organisms (GMO): Organic certification does not allow for the use of genetically modified ingredients. Regular food laws do not have this ban.
Radiation: Organic foods are not allowed to be irradiated. Irradiation, a process often used to sterilize food in the grocery industry (including, but not limited to, herbs and spices), may negatively impact or alter enzymes, and other nutrients found in the food.
Pollution and Energy: Organic farmers help to minimize pollution and energy usage by using natural fertilizers, such as manure and compost, on their land.
Energy: Organic farmers, who use natural fertilizers like manure and compost, avoid the energy waste involved in the manufacture of synthetic fertilizers.
Taste: Many people prefer organic food because they feel it tastes better.
