More About Quality Organic Foods

By Claudine Hodges


More and more people are concerned about their health and choose natural products. That's why most countries today have regulations about good quality organic foods. This food should be produced without artificial additives, pesticides, different chemicals and other methods used in conventional food production. All crops are only minimally processed and this doesn't allow chemical methods and irradiation.

Mass or conventional production uses all sorts of chemicals, to improve the quantity and so called quality, but the fact is that their products quality is questionable. Different additives used may cause different diseases and allergies. That's why more and more people rather choose naturally grown food instead. The taste is better, whatever some experts might think of it, and it is enough to try natural food to be convinced.

Beautiful, uniform and shiny fruits you will find in your nearest supermarket are probably treated with different chemicals during growth and after that. There are several chemical methods that are used to preserve freshness and shiny, appealing colors. You have to carefully wash every single piece, to remove at least some of these chemicals. Naturally grown food is less colorful, but so much tastier.

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.

When it comes to processed foods, to be labeled as organic, it has to contain only natural ingredients. Most countries have regulations about it, and most of them allow up to five percent of other ingredients, but this doesn't include additives, preservatives and other, potentially harmful chemicals. Naturally grown fruits and veggies and all other products shouldn't be chemically treated in later stages of production either.

It is always important to read the labels. You will find different products that are only partly natural, and contain some additives that shouldn't be there. If you are concerned about your health, choose natural products only. This whole process of production respects the nature and that's why ecologically balanced farming gives such good results. It's good for you and for the world you live in.
