Some Facts About Quality Organic Foods

By Claudine Hodges


In most countries today, the whole food production is under control and all organic food is certified as such. This means that no artificial additives, chemicals, pesticides and similar things cannot be used in this process of production. Even when this type of food has to be processed, chemicals, irradiation and similar methods shouldn't be used. Quality organic foods should be pure and natural, and everything should be 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.

When you see conventionally grown tomatoes, for example, they all look the same. They are beautiful and fully red and so appealing. They are treated in all stages of growth, and even after that. This is done to preserve their freshness longer, and to make sure their color will attract customers. You have to wash them really carefully. Naturally grown tomatoes aren't so uniform, but they have much better taste. And they are much healthier.

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.

Different countries have different regulations about all this. Some have really strict rules, while some are more flexible about it. In fact, all stages of this entire process of production should be under control. There should be no chemicals in the soil, they aren't allowed to use artificial additives or pesticides, everything should be perfectly natural. You can see it all on numerous farms that use traditional farming methods.

Conventional, mass production of foods cannot afford to rely on nature. They use all kinds of chemicals to make sure they will make profit. All naturally grown foods should be appropriately certified. Although, it is hard to say if all stages of the whole process of production were monitored and controlled. You will find labeled products in any supermarket, but it might be better to buy them in specialized stores.

If you buy processed organic food, it should contain only natural ingredients, to be labeled as such. Most countries allow up to five percent additives of some sort, but such products still shouldn't contain different chemicals, artificial additives or GMO. Of course, different chemical procedures such as chemical ripening shouldn't be used in this entire process of production as well.

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.
