organic milk cows are pasture-grazed, which

results in the better quality of milk.

Organic Tomatoes

Organic tomatoes are produced in an

environment that has a lower nutrient supply since

nitrogen-rich chemical fertilizers are not added.

This leads to an excessive formation of

antioxidants. There is proof that there is some

pesticide and fertilizer contamination in non-

organic food.

Antioxidant Capacity

It has been proven that antioxidants have

more of an impact on the body when they come

from organic foods. This is due to the fact that

chemicals are not negatively interacting with the

vitamins and minerals.

DID YOU KNOW? The way food is grown makes up 83%

of the over all carbon footprint of

food. Organically grown food is a

better choice for the climate.

Pesticide Reduction

Non-organic foods contain the presence

of pesticides, which are composed of powerful

chemicals like organophosphorus. More than

80% this material in the human body comes

from eating pesticide-coated foods. This is why

many people choose to go organic. Organic

foods are healthy and leave people unaffected

by toxins.

Heart Health

The antioxidants found in organic food

help in reducing heart disease and the chances

of developing cancer. The increased amount of

time grazing on the grass increases the

2

amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

CLA is a heart-healthy fatty acid that can boost

cardiovascular protection.

Better Taste

Organic food is often sold locally,

resulting in the availability of fresh produce.

Fresh produce tastes better than produce that

has been frozen, shipped, and transported

across long distances. It is believed that

organic food tastes better because it is

produced by organic means of production.

Environmentally Safe Unlike non-organic foods, organic

production of food does not use harmful

chemicals in their farming techniques. Organic

farming requires minimal soil, air, and water

pollution; thus ensuring a safer and healthier

world for future generations to live in.
