hat does Organic Mean?

Organic food is the product

of a farming system which

avoids the use of man-made

fertilisers, pesticides; growth regulators and

livestock feed additives.Irradiation and the

use of genetically modified organisms

(GMOs) or products produced from or by

GMOs are generally prohibited by organic

legislation. Choosing organic produce where

and when you can means that you’re making

a decision that helps support the soil, animal,

plants, people and the environment we live in

on a day-to-day basis. The more chemicals

we spray on our soil, the more chemicals that

can end up in our food and water supply, and

potentially in our bodies.

5 Organic Foods

To Include In We know that organic fruits and

vegetables are better for our bodies

and the planet, along with the

farmers that grow them and the

overall food industry. The more

foods are produced naturally in an

organic manner without chemicals

and pesticides, the more everyone

benefits. Plus, there’s nothing like

taking a taste of a delicious apple

that has no waxy coating or slicing

into a cucumber that doesn’t have

that slimy, waxy finish. But organic

isn’t always easy to buy on a budget,

so that’s why choosing organic

foods from “The Dirty Dozen” list

each year is so important.

The ‘Dirty Dozen’ is a list of fruit

and vegetables that are the best

investments when it comes to

choosing organic. In other words, if

you’re shopping on a budget and

want to know the best foods to

prioritise when choosing between

organic and non-organic, I think

these are the ones to pick. I also

choose to buy organic dairy, chicken

and red meat. These fruits and

vegetables should be bought organic

when possible since they are the

most heavily sprayed crops.

Eating organic is an investment in

your health – you’re helping to

avoid eating unnecessary chemicals.
