Do You Serve Organic Produce to the Kids in Your Care?

Why I Think Organic Fruits and Vegetables Taste Better

With Earth Day celebrations coming up this weekend I want to urge nannies and parents to serve children organic fruits and vegetables. I believe fresh organically grown foods taste better. 

Think about the tomato sprayed with Windex that Jacqueline Astete described on our blog last year and you will understand that foods not covered in synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and waxes wouldn't taste as good as organic foods.

Since organic food is grown in well-balanced soil and with a safe water supply, it makes sense that these healthy plants have a great taste.

Several studies have reported that organic produce has a lower level of nitrate. Lower nitrate levels have been linked in many studies to better taste.

Taste is definitely an individual matter, but hundreds of gourmet chefs across the nation are choosing organic food to prepare because they believe it has superior taste and quality. An increasing number of consumers are also of the opinion that organic food tastes better.

In honor of Earth Day try eating organically grown produce this week and see for yourself if you think organic produce tastes better than conventionally grown produce.
