Organic Food

What are organic foods? Organic refers to the agriculture that produced food and products, such as cotton, using methods that respect the balance of nature and create minimal impact on the environment. Organic foods are processed without the use of artificial ingredients, preservatives and irradiation. Organic is not a claim of "more nutritious" or "residue free". In April 1995, the US National Organic Standards Board passed this definition: "Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony."

Organic systems replenish and maintain soil fertility; eliminate the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilisers; and build biologically diverse agriculture.

Organic foods of all kinds have nutritional characteristics similar to their conventionally produced counter parts. Essentially the same amount of protein, fat, carbohydrate and dietary fibre in a glass of organic milk is found in a glass of milk produced non-organically. Is organic food better tasting? Well-balanced soils grow strong healthy plants. Many people believe organic produce has an excellent taste, and hundreds of chefs across the country use organic produce as they consider it to be superior in taste and helps to promote agriculture sustainable for generations to come. Organic ingredients are consistent with both what we want for the kitchen ane what we want for our community and larger environment.
