Research shows that the cells of our body process naturally occurring nutrients more efficiently without the interference of the chemicals used in today's mass produced fruits and vegetables. Locally grown or grow-your-own organic food has a higher nutrient content. Organic foods are not harvested prematurely, thus retaining valuable nutrients. Premature harvesting is the only way for produce to be shipped many miles away. Organic fruits and vegetables have a taste that is superior. Organics contributes to the restoration of our environment because no chemicals are used in the process. Organic foods just FEEL better.
