Why Should You Choose Quality Organic Foods

By Claudine Hodges


Most highly developed countries regulate their food production, especially the production of organic food. This type of foods should be produced without using pesticides, chemicals or different potentially dangerous methods. The final product should be minimally processed, especially when it comes to different radiations and similar methods. Quality organic foods should be certified as such, and produced under control.

Conventional production uses all kinds of chemical treatments in order of producing more money. Their fruits and vegetables look really nice, beautifully colored and uniformly sized. The quality of these products is, on the other hand, questionable. More and more people suffer from food allergies, for example. If you eat naturally produced food, you will be healthier. Besides, it tastes so much better.

Beautiful, uniform and shiny fruits you will find in your nearest supermarket are probably treated with different chemicals during growth and after that. There are several chemical methods that are used to preserve freshness and shiny, appealing colors. You have to carefully wash every single piece, to remove at least some of these chemicals. Naturally grown food is less colorful, but so much tastier.

Whatever some so called experts might say, the fact is that organically grown fruits and veggies have better taste. Chemically treated foods have vivid colors and look great, but their taste really cannot be compared to real things. The amount of nutrients in these fruits can be controlled, but it is still questionable. If you want to enjoy in tasty food, choose natural, even if it doesn't look so appealing.

Some countries don't have very strict regulations, while some do. In controlled conditions, this type of food should grow in unpolluted and chemically untreated soil, from untreated seeds, without using any pesticides or other chemical during its growth or after harvesting it. Some farmers are dedicated to this type of production, and their products are perfectly natural, thanks to their ecologically balanced approach to farming.

Conventional food production usually use different pesticides and chemicals to make sure they will make profit. Organically produced foods are therefor more expensive than conventional ones. Although you will find this type of products just about anywhere today, some specialized stores will offer you highest quality organic food, fully certified and produced under constant control. This is the best guarantee of high nutrient level and overall quality.

Processed organic foods should contain only natural ingredients, to be labeled as such. In most countries it is allowed that these products contain up to five percent non-organic ingredients. In any case, they shouldn't include artificial additives, genetically modified ingredients and chemicals. In addition, some methods such as irradiation and chemical ripening should never be used in the process of production.

In any case, if you are concerned about your health and willing to spend some money on quality, make sure to read all the labels. Sometimes you will find different levels of organic ingredients in products you buy, so, if you can choose, choose 100 percent natural. Your health and beauty come from within, and that's why you should eat pure natural food only. Besides, you will enjoy in it.
