Organic foods have higher nutritional value than conventional food, according to nutritionists.

​

The reason: In the absence of pesticides and fertilizers, plants boost their production of the phytochemicals (vitamins and antioxidants) that strengthen their resistance to bugs and weeds.

​

Organic and natural foods do not contain  pesticides, chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides which are widely used in conventional agriculture. Their residues remain on (and in) the food we eat and are considered unhealthy for the human body. Organic food is often fresher because it doesn't contain preservatives that make it last longer.
