Why do Organic Foods last longer

As we are aware, Organic food and conventional foods are not grown the same way. Organic farming is regulated and is more in line with the traditional methods. Here no synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are used. Sewage sludge is not permitted, nor are irradiation and genetically modified foods used.


Instead, the organic farmer works in unison with the land and the soil. He recognizes that the soil is alive. The farmer knows that healthy soil is full of nutrients and that plants grown in this soil are healthy and full of nutrients.

Organic produce does not miraculously defy the life cycle and defeat decay.

To accurately determine which growing method would produce plants that lasted longer, you would need to pick straight from each field - the organic and the non-organic.

When purchasing bananas, don't choose the green ones. Chances are that they were picked so yearly in their life cycle that they may never get 'ripe'. Instead select bananas well on the way to being ripe or with very little green left on the peeling.

Buy the healthiest looking vegetables for these would be the most alive and with the most nutrients. And ideally, select organic whenever you can
