Organic food versus conventionally grown foods

Everyone wants to eat nutritious foods and most people can say exactly what they are. People are in two camps: conventionally grown (CG) divided against organic food. Most of the food, the process of CG at our disposal. The seeds for fruit and vegetables have been genetically modified and irradiated some. The plants are grown with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. After harvesting the plants are grafted and vitamins and minerals added to them. During processing, the food further enhanced with vitamins, minerals, preservatives and dyes. Finally, the product is canned, canned or frozen before reaching the consumer. Today, more than $ 2100000000000 food, beverages and consumer goods sold package annually.

Organic foods are grown without the use of irradiation, bioengineering or pesticides. produced meat without antibiotics or hormones increased. The USDA Organic has three options. The term means getting only 100% organic ingredients in organic products. Organic means it has 95% organic ingredients. Made with organic ingredients, which means that only 70% of the product is made with organic ingredients. Contains organic ingredients means that the product contains less than 70% organic ingredients. Farmers, organic produce and meat must follow strict growth medium and water conservation practices and guidelines for the humane treatment of animals. Now, the consumer buys more than $ 15000000000 of organic food and beverages annually.

Okay, then what is better? Just because a product says it's organic or contains organic ingredients does not necessarily mean that is a healthy alternative food cg. Some organic products may actually be higher in sugar, salt, fat or calories. Before buying, check food labels to know exactly what you get.

However, you need all the fruit and vegetables thoroughly with running water. Peel and cut the outer leaves, and leaf vegetables after washing them. Since pesticide residues found in fat, meat and remove skin from poultry and fish.
