Top 12 organic food must buys

Slowly but surely organic food is gaining an important spot in people’s diet. Because of the increasing need of food across the globe farms and factories have started to resort to using chemical products in order to decrease the amount of time it takes to grow something, be it a vegetable or an animal which is later used for producing meat.
So because of these aspect, more and more people have started to go organic in order to lead a healthier life. But the questions is: is organic food healthier and more nutritious? For answering this question we should first know what organic food is.
What is organic food?
The term „organic” makes a reference to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. This means that there are a number of procedures and requirements which should be respected in order to label the food produced as „organic”. Organic crops are grown in safe soil, without any modifications and are dealt with separately from conventional products. Also, the use of synthetic pesticides or petroleum based fertilizers is not allowed.
So you see that the process of delivering organic produce is more expensive than regular foods hence the high price for these aliments is justified. But what should you buy if you decide to switch to organic food? Usually the most contaminated products with pesticides and fertilizers are the ones which are the most demanded. Here’s a list of fruits and vegetables that you should consider purchasing as organic:
