Organically grown fruits and vegetables Added value for your health
Natural, nutritious and sustainable – the organic difference
Choose the best from nature
Choosing organically grown fruits and vegetables is more than just a preference for natural foods; it is a choice for a healthier diet and a more sustainable future. Various studies and analyzes have shown that organic farming methods not only protect the environment, but can also influence the nutritional value and safety of the food we consume. Here are four key elements that make the difference:
Choosing organic fruits and vegetables is an investment in your health and the health of the planet. By choosing organic products, you not only support more sustainable agriculture, but also benefit from food that is more nutritious and safer in many aspects.
Higher nutrient density
Organic fruits and vegetables may contain more vitamins and antioxidants that promote health.
Less pesticide residues
Organic products typically have lower pesticide residues, which reduces the risk of health problems.
Environmental sustainability
Organic farming protects biodiversity and reduces environmental pollution from chemicals.
Supporting natural systems
Organic farming supports healthier soils and strengthens plant resilience.
The influence of organic farming on the antioxidant capacity of foods
The study by Mariantonia Logozzi et al. (2021) in the “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” illustrates the positive effect of organic farming on the quality of fruits and vegetables. In particular, it shows that nanovesicular extracts from organically grown fruits have a higher antioxidant capacity than those from conventional cultivation [1]. This highlights the health benefits of organic foods, which not only have fewer pesticide residues thanks to more natural farming methods, but also potentially offer higher levels of nutrients and antioxidants. Organic farming not only promotes the environment and biodiversity, but can also make a direct contribution to improving nutritional quality and health benefits for humans. Overall, research encourages the choice of organically produced foods as part of a healthy and sustainable diet.
