Natural Organic Foods
Posted on July 3rd, 2009. Filed under: General.With hypermarkets becoming an agglomeration of poisoning so-called foods, and in the conditions of more and more sensitivities and illness, it’s no wonder people turn towards natural organic foods. Although analyses between conventional and non-conventional foods show great relevancy, any consumer can use his/her common sense to decide whether the foods he/she buys are good for health. The dangers that lurk in non-organic foods are hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and fertilizers. The non-organic livestock grow in very harsh conditions, while the fruit and vegetables are synthetically boosted to look great and take the consumer’s eye. By contrast, natural organic foods are cultivated or grown according to the rules of Mother Nature, with very little human intervention.
Natural organic foods may also have traces of pesticide residues, but these usually come from nearby farms that use chemicals for crop production. Furthermore, with natural organic foods the amount of nutrients is significantly higher while the threats are considerably fewer. If we take the example of organic eggs, analyses indicate that besides the lack of hormones and antibiotics, there is less cholesterol and saturated fat, more Vitamin A, twice more Omega-3 acids, huge amounts of beta-carotene and seven times more Vitamin E than in non-organic eggs. The difference is therefore huge, not to mention that the quality of the protein is significant too.
The word has traveled far about the positive aspects of natural organic foods, and since direct access to organic retails is not available on all geographic locations, it is good to know that one can order the various products from a close source online. If you want to buy natural organic foods, it is more likely to find them at the market than in hypermarkets. Moreover, producers of natural organic foods are more likely to be found in the countryside; therefore take the best of any trip. Make a bit of research and see where you find them and whether you can make some supplies.
The only problem with natural organic foods is their price, because they are between 10% and 40% more expensive than non-organic foods. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, the products are very easy to recognize by their look: there will be no flawless strawberries or apples, but various fruit sizes, some better than others. The same thing stays valid for meat, but you will only be able to tell which is which by shopping from the special organic sectors in markets or supermarkets.
