ORGANIC FOOD

ORGANIC FOOD, ALREADY DID IT TRY?
If for what you look they are healthy foods, of elevated nourishing value and free of toxic residues, fill the plate with organic products!

They are produced in total harmony with the nature, since they are the result of a system of agricultural production for what it looks to work in the balanced form the ground and the natural resources - water, plants, animals, insects, rotation of the ground, etc.

Known because of not having residues of pesticides, synthetic, regulating fertilizers of growth and additive for the animal food, the organic foods are gaining important space in the Brazilian market.

There are studies in this area there are more than 70 years, but only now we see with bigger frequency
these foods in the shelves of the supermarkets, that not to mention the sales for the Internet - straight of the producer.
Which the difference?
There are inquiries that point which organic foods are more nourishing, but the principal advantage is what they healthy you release of residues of pesticides, which can cause serious damages to the health, which is already proved. Besides, because of receiving a balanced fertilizing, they do not present excess of nitrates, which also can be carcinogenic. " it affirms Juliana Ortega Smith, of the Group of Agriculture Amaranthus of the ESALQ / USP - UNIVERSITY OF SÃO PAULO- Brazil.
Be a prejudice of which these foods are less, less luxuriant, but this does not depend of they are organic. The handling is much more connected to this appearance, when a correct handling of the production is becoming they can be so or more eye-catching than you agree on them. " The problem is that so the consumer does not believe " Juliana comments, influencing quite even in the hour of the marketing.
She also explains that the conventional products, they generally are bigger, because they have more water, in other words, fertilizing with very soluble fertilizers, provoking a bigger accumulation of water. This allied to a nutrition and microplant vines also looked down it finishes doing so that they have tenors less of nutritious ones and vitamins, besides less taste.
Fruits, greens, vegetables and up to sugar they are produced organically. In Brazil, the product cultivated in bigger scale is the soy. But the easiness of production depends a great deal of the climate and of the region in which it is planted. In the sector of organic ones, Brazil is the seventh world-wide producer and he presents a growth of 10 % to the year.All these products are properly regulated and controlled so that they can reach a consumer with these characteristics. There are specialized enterprises that give this certification, which they are below the Ministry of the Agriculiura and in case of the exports inside the standards governed by the IFOAM - International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements. So, in the hour of buying look for the selinho attesting what is an organic product.
The elevated cost of the organic products is a disadvantage, since the producers spend very much with the regularization and register of the products. That happens specially with foods more difficult to be produced by these methods, like strawberry, tomato and potato. But it is worthwhile a poquinho pays it more, to stimulate this type of cultivation and to bring to house a healthier food.

Having grown up on a farm my parents and I know the value of organic foods. I know exactly what Sol is getting at too what with the fact the organics (foods) cost a lot more. However I agree with the value in your own body, rather then foods grown with larger more soluble fertilizer and thusly a 'larger' fruit. However we've all noticed the accumulation of sugary water in the body.. and while it helps (a little) with the absorption of creatine.. water weight isn't fun to try and lose!! It's great to hear a Brazilian side of the subject!! Nice work Sol!!; ▶ Reply to This
