Why Organic Food is Healthier?

Organic Food has become the synonym for Healthy Living. Ten or fifteen years ago, people hardly heard or understood the word Organic, nor did they care. Nowadays, the popularity of Organic Food increases dramatically.

So what is Organic Food anyway?

Before farmers can label the products Organic, they have to first meet USDA’s standard and pass series of inspections. In summary, Organic Food contains No Chemical Pesticide, No Chemical Fertilizers, No Chemical Additive, No Artificial Coloring, and No GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). It carries on the good old way our ancestors used to farm, so do speak.

I remember when I was little, fruits and vegetables tasted sweeter and juicer. One could simply wash a tomato or an apple under the running water for a minute or two, and then ate the whole thing, with the skin on of course. Oh, how I miss that heavenly flavor, the scent of freshness, and nature’s delight. However, in recent decades, many produces we eat taste plain, dry, and flavorless. We eat simply for the need of survival, not because we love the food.

Ever since I was introduced to Organic Food last year, I rediscovered joy in food. The differences are quite distinct. Taking banana as an example, I used to hate eating bananas. They only last for a few days. As the skin of a banana turns to dark yellow with many black dots on the surface, the inside becomes dry and tasteless. The Organic banana, on the other hand, locks all the original flavor in the fruit itself. It does not dry up or get too soft inside, and it lasts longer than the regular banana. Other Organic Fruits like strawberry, blueberry, peach taste sweeter and juicer with natural flavor. If you try it once you will know the difference.

Organic broccoli and celery are good examples for vegetables. The longer you cook them, the greener they become, compare to the regular ones which easily turn to yellow after a few minutes of cooking, and lose its original crispness.

The scientists try to convince us that nutrition wise there is not much difference between Organic Food and regular food. I’m no scientist, or doctor, the only thing I know is that Organic Food tastes lot better, more natural, juicy and sweet. It brings back a good old memory that I long miss.
