Happy Organic Week

What does it really mean to be organic?

This week we will talk about the value of products made without the use of chemical pesticides, fertilisers, growth enhancers, or feed additives. Yes, you got it – it’s Organic Week! ✔

What are some of the advantages of going organic? According to multiple research, foods that are grown organically are higher in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are beneficial for the body. Higher concentrations in antioxidants, vitamin C, calcium, iron, chromium, and magnesium have been noted in some studies.

Listen in as Claire talks more about what being “organic” is and what we should be doing about it. Stay informed!

Since we’re talking about “going organic” this week, let’s pause and take a look at some of the studies that reveal some of the nastiest foods that uptake pesticides the most.

The analysis, based on produce samples tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, found that strawberries and spinach contained the highest amounts of pesticide residues. One sample of strawberries, for example, tested positive for 20 different pesticides, and spinach contained nearly twice the pesticide residue by weight than any other fruit or vegetable. Here’s the list of what they call the dirty dozen!

Now, let’s shift our focus to some of the organic produce which generally contains fewer pesticide residues. Examples would include:
✔Avocados
✔Sweet Corn
✔Pineapples
✔Cabbage
✔Onions
And more here!

It’s always best to be aware. Eat better, do better for your body!
