‘Organic’ is a term used for foods and products that are grown, processed and produced in a natural way, in tune with nature and without the use of synthetic chemicals.

That means when you consume an organic product it has:

No synthetic pesticides

No synthetic herbicides

No preservatives or additives

No Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s or GE)

No Irradiation

When referring to organic products we often tend to purely think of food but an organic lifestyle encompasses everything from what we eat, to what we wear, to how and where we live.

Another 6 Reasons to GO ORGANIC

1. No Additives. Organic food is free from additives and preservatives that can cause a variety of health problems, ranging from heart disease to hyperactivity.
2. Avoids Pesticides. Organic products are grown without the use of pesticides. That means chemicals regularly used in farming will not find their way onto your dinner plate.
3. No GM. Genetically modified crops and ingredients are not allowed under strict organic guidelines.
4. High Standards. Organic produce comes from trusted sources with organic farms and food sources being regularly inspected.
5. It's Good for the Environment. Lower pollution from sprays means less carbon dioxide, the gas primarily related to global warming.
6. It tastes better. Many people prefer organic produce because of its fresh taste. Numerous Australian chefs are choosing organic produce to maximise the flavour of their cooking.
