Many self-proclaimed health food stores, one of them is an organic store. People who buy food in an organic store think it is safer, healthier, or better for the environment and animals, but is it really better?
Organic food is grown or grown without the use of artificial chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified organisms. In order to be labeled as organic food, the food must be free of artificial food additives. This includes artificial sweeteners, preservatives, coloring agents, flavoring agents and MSG. Organically grown crops tend to use natural fertilizers to improve plant growth. Animals raised organically are also not given antibiotics or hormones. Organic farming tends to improve soil quality and protect groundwater. It can also reduce pollution and may be better for the environment.
The most common organic foods sold in organic food stores are fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Today, there are also many processed organic products, such as soda, biscuits and breakfast cereals. Organic food is produced through farming methods that use only natural substances. This means avoiding the use of all man-made chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified organisms. Research on organically grown crops contains more antioxidants and vitamins, and certain micronutrients, such as vitamin C, zinc and iron.
Note that some "organic shops" not only sell organic products, they also sell products with good sales and profits. When you want to buy organic food, "organic food store" is not an indicator, you should look for a certified organic label on the product. The organic certification of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the organic certification of the European Union are the most common products in organic food stores.
