Organic foods: why people are attracted to organic foods

Since past years, couple of things are being in trend; first one is Covid-19 and second, Organic food. I see that some people in supermarkets asks and looks for natural and organic vegetable and fruits. They think organic food is safer, healthier, and tastier than conventionally grown food. Others say it’s better for the environment and the well-being of animals. However, in the article we are going to talk about organic goods and their benefits. You can buy organic goods at our Indian supermarket Zurich/ Indian supermarket/ Indian shop Geneva.

What is organic food?

Organic food is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, such as artificial pesticides and fertilizers, and does not contain genetically artificial organisms (GMOs). Organic food product must be free of artificial food additives. This includes artificial sweeteners, preservatives, coloring, flavoring, and monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Although the produce of kitchen gardens may actually be organic, governmental food safety authorities, such as the National Organic Program of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or European Commission (EC) regulate selling food with an organic label.

Here are four different levels or categories for organic labeling:

1. “100% Organic”: This means that all ingredients are produced organically. It also may have the USDA seal.
2. “Organic”: At least 95% or more of the ingredients are organic.
3. “Made With Organic Ingredients”: Contains at least 70% organic ingredients.
4. “Less Than 70% Organic Ingredients”:

Incredible benefits of Organic foods

• Organic products contain fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as synthetic fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat.
• Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer.
• Organic farming tends to be better for the environment. the Organic farming practices may reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without synthetic pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.
• Organically raised animals with organic feed and kept free from growth hormones and antibiotics. Organically raised animals get more space to move around and access to the outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.
• Organic meat and milk can be richer in certain nutrients. Results of a 2016 European study show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.
