Answer:
Organic food is the certified food that is monitored by the officials while being grown in organic farms, manufactured, produced or packaged without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in compliance with certain standards.
• Organic involves a great variety of foods: milk, meat, poultry, jam, peanut butter, coffee, baked beans, pizzas, whole grains, eggs, drinks, vegetables and fruits. Actually there is an organic version of almost every food you can think of.
• Organic meat, poultry and dairy producers are not allowed to use growth hormones or antibiotics.
• They are labelled to avoid confusion as they look the same as conventional produce.
• As an example, an average apple has about 30-35 pesticides even after being washed, this is greatly reduced in organic produce.
• Organic food is reported to be approximately 50% higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals than normal produce.
• Organically grown foods do not always look as colorful and well presented as conventional produce.
• You don't have to buy everything organic, just switching to organic in a few items will make a hell a lot of difference.
