Anyone aware of the amount of chemicals included in highly processed food is aware of the importance and the benefits of organic foods in the first place. By the difference between organic and conventional food, we don’t necessarily imply the one between an organic and a non-organic apple. We should actually stress out the health benefits of organic foods first and foremost.

Lots of consumers suffering from some form of chronic illness or even cancer, choose organic foods as safer and more health oriented than conventional products. Although lots of people claim that there is little difference in terms of nutrients, the absence of hormones and chemicals from organic food works great for the promotion of a state of well-being. Lots of consumer analyses do not insist on the difference in nutrients value, there are studies however that point out to the superiority and the benefits of organic foods in this sense.

It seems that among the benefits of organic foods we ought to include more vitamin C, higher levels of trace minerals and plenty of anti-oxidant nutrients. A report made by the US Department of Agriculture shows that a significant decline has been registered in the level of minerals of the non-organic crops since 1940. The present-day extensive storage and the intense processing of the crops further lowers the quality of conventional foods.

Surprising benefits of organic foods include the higher content of dry matter. Under the influence of fertilizers, there is a higher water retention in fruits and vegetables. Thus, a non-organic apple gives less food than an organic one. Nevertheless, besides the different amounts of nutrients, there are other organic food benefits.

First of all, virtually no pesticide residues can be traced in organic products. Even if conventional food producers claim that no health threat can be identified for pesticides, one doesn’t have to be an expert to know that the ingestion of anything chemical cannot help or be 100% safe for the system. The benefits of organic foods are much insisted on at present, with more and more consumers choosing them instead of conventional foods. In time this preference will definitely trigger a shift of the market and even a reformulation of the standards that characterize organic food in the first place.
