Why consume organic products?

We all want to consume fresh, high-quality products that do not contain chemicals.

By consuming organic products, food would provide us benefits in nutritional value. On the other hand, it should also be remembered that conventional foods are often carriers of harmless pesticides, but that they can sometimes cause allergies or even some types of toxicity if not properly cleaned.

Obviously, the taste and texture is the first thing we will see when choosing organic foods, as this will not change their natural growth. These are natural products derived from agriculture that do not use chemical products or polluting products. Therefore, we also care for and respect the environment.

But we cannot be sure of the quality of the products we buy in the store, because we do not know under what conditions they are manufactured. The best option is to grow some products at home, it is not only safe, but also quite entertaining.
