More and more people are choosing to buy organic food because they want to know what they are eating. Buying food that is certified organic means you can be sure of certain things:

  • No artificial pesticides have been sprayed on crops.
  • Products have not been genetically modified nor do they contain GM ingredients.
  • Food is packed with vitamins, minerals and other vital nutrients.
  • Food is free from artificial colourings, flavourings, E numbers and hydrogenated fats (see Good Fats).
  • Animals are well looked after, fed appropriate food and kept in free range environments.
  • Animals are not routinely given antibiotics to keep away illness - traces of which can end up in food.
  • Wildlife and local environment are protected.
  • Regular rotations of crops ensures that the ground is more fertile for producing the food we eat.
  • And we think - much better tasting food.
