There have been loads of coverage in the press arguing over whether there are any actual benefits of buying organic food. We say there are, and here’s why…
It tastes better, obviously this is subject but many people buy organic products because of the taste. This is because organic fruit and veg is grown slowly (as they should) and has a lower water content, which attribute to a fuller flavour.
It’s healthier; on average organic food contains higher levels of vitamins and minerals compared to non-organic food.
Helps the environment and wildlife; organic farming supports wildlife and the environment because they don’t use sprays and chemicals. Organic farming also has higher levels of animal welfare standards than system farming.
No additives; food additives have been associated with rashes, headaches, asthma and growth retardation. They’re best avoided.
Antibiotic additives are routinely added to animal food in conventional farming to speed growth even though these have been linked with bacterial resistance in humans to the same or closely related antibiotics.
Foods that have been certified as organic provides a guarantee that the product have been grown, handled and distributed while avoiding the risk of contamination, and can be traced back fully along the supply line.
