Most of the vegetables and fruits that we consume in the daily diet have a high content of pesticides and chemical compounds, or are genetically modified. Therefore, organic foods have now become more important and popular, but not for fashion, but for health.
The global conscience is encouraging large companies to offer, increasingly, natural products. These foods are those obtained from crops not treated with chemical compounds or contaminants, so that their production and consumption contribute to the environment and health.
To produce them, only natural fertilizers are used, and in relation to animals, they are not given, for example, hormones or antibiotics to achieve higher levels of production and quality. In addition, these products have the flavor, color and natural texture, because they keep all their vitamins and nutrients.
How to differentiate them?
100% natural foods are smaller, their color is not uniform or perfect, they taste better and their smell is stronger. They cook and decompose faster.
They also have stamps that certify that they are organic, but at this point you have to be careful when the labels say “100% natural”, because sometimes they only indicate that one of their compounds is, but it does not mean that the rest are.
Let’s talk about the seals that do certify it, such is the case of the official seal “USDA Organic” on the food label, because it approves that the producer was inspected by a certifier. They ensure that the product conforms to the necessary organic standards.
The “USDA” seal also certifies that the product is 100% organic or made with at least 95% organic ingredients. Products with 70-94% organic ingredients can not use the seal.
But it does not end there, because in addition to offering biological benefits, they also help cultural and economic activity. They make agriculture more sustainable, giving activity to the local economy.
Organic agriculture gives health to our plants, to ourselves and to the entire ecosystem.
