Healthier and Tastier Produce

Organic produce offers significant health benefits due to its higher nutrient content. For instance, organic apples contain up to 66% more flavonols and 31% more phenolic acids compared to conventional apples. Similarly, organic oranges have 10.7% more vitamin C and 21.4% more essential oils. These increases in beneficial compounds can have a substantial impact on your overall health. Organic spinach, for example, has higher levels of vitamin C and significantly fewer nitrates, which are harmful in large amounts. The superior taste of organic strawberries and lemons, preferred by consumers, is a direct result of higher concentrations of aroma-inducing compounds.
