Nowadays, there is a greater awareness of the consumption of natural foods and that is why you have probably heard about organic food. But what benefits does the consumption of organic products really bring?
Main benefits of consuming organic foods:
- They do not harm our body, as they are free of toxic residues from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, additives, antibiotics, and preservatives. Most of them are used in conventional agriculture to eliminate insects, pests or fight diseases.
- They do not alter metabolic functions. Since they do not contain artificial substances, foods from organic farming are properly assimilated by the body. According to nutrition specialists, a large part of degenerative diseases have their origin in diet.
- Organic farming results in more nutritious products, as food is grown in soils balanced by natural fertilizers. This results in food having higher levels of vitamins, essential minerals and antioxidants.
- It has been proven that they help prevent diseases such as cancer.
And what about organic olive oil?
In the case of organic extra virgin olive oil , its nutritional properties remain intact, making it a very tasty oil. This is also due to the fact that it is harvested at the right time and milled on the same day, so that the fruit does not lose its qualities.
It should be noted that this type of oil, in addition to undergoing official controls that are carried out on all foods, is subject to additional certification, which guarantees the authenticity of its organic origin.
All these processes mean that the production of organic olive oil is somewhat more expensive than other oils, since it is not a matter of intensive agriculture, but rather because only natural products are used, these are more expensive and the yield per hectare is generally lower. Although it must be admitted that its health benefits and delicious flavour more than compensate for this difference in price.
