Nowadays, there is greater awareness of consuming natural foods, and you’ve probably heard about organic food. But what are the real benefits of consuming organic products?
Main benefits of consuming organic foods:
- They do not harm our body, as they are free from toxic residues from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, additives, antibiotics, and preservatives. Most of these are used in conventional agriculture to eliminate insects, pests, or fight diseases.
- They do not disrupt metabolic functions. Since they contain no artificial substances, foods from organic farming are properly assimilated by the body. Nutrition specialists indicate that many degenerative diseases have their origin in diet.
- Organic farming makes products more nutritious, as foods are grown in balanced soils enriched with natural fertilizers. This results in higher levels of vitamins, essential minerals, and antioxidants.
- They have been shown to help prevent diseases such as cancer.
What about organic olive oil?
In the case of organic extra virgin olive oil, its nutritional properties remain intact, making it a very flavorful oil. This is also due to harvesting at the right moment and milling on the same day, so the fruit does not lose its qualities.
It is worth noting that this type of oil, in addition to passing the official food controls, undergoes an additional certification that guarantees the authenticity of its organic origin.
All these processes make the production of organic olive oil slightly more expensive than other oils, as it is not intensive agriculture. Only natural products are used, which are more costly, and the yield per hectare is generally lower. However, its health benefits and delicious taste more than compensate for this price difference.
