What is the meaning of organic food

March 23, 2023
At a time when genetically modified foods are making a lot of noise, our organic foods are quietly making their debut. And how much do you know about organic food?

What is organic food

Organic food is absolutely forbidden to use pesticides, fertilizers, hormones and other synthetic substances in its production and processing, and it cannot use genetic modification technology and its products.

Organic food production conditions

Therefore, organic food comes from good ecological and organic farms. Producing organic food is much more difficult than other food products, it requires the establishment of a whole new production and monitoring system and the adoption of appropriate technologies for pest and disease pest, land protection, new species cultivation, processing and storage.

Organic food nutritional value

Some reports have shown that the nutrient content of organic foods is much higher than other non-organic foods. Through experimental studies, they found that there is a great difference in the nutrient content of species raised or grown on organic and non-organic land. Like the milk produced by organic cows has 50% to 80% higher antioxidant content than conventional milk; organic wheat, potatoes, cabbage, etc. all contain 20% to 40% more nutrients compared to non-organic species.

How to buy organic food

Organic food is grown on land that has not been cultivated and is specially certified. Therefore, the crops grown on it contain more calcium, magnesium, iron and other trace elements and vitamins, while the content of heavy metals and cancer-causing nitrates is low. Regular consumption of organic food is very helpful to human health. Organic food is good, but in the purchase is to distinguish clearly. Many organic ingredients on the market are hard to distinguish, so we should first look at the label to see if there is the word "ORGANIC" and the words "Chinese organic products" when buying. For the health of our families and ourselves, we should be careful when choosing ingredients!
