Organic Vs Conventional Vegetables

Organic Vegetables from JUSTLIFE(full of small Holes)
The price range from Rm10-Rm15 per kg


People always ask me what is the meaning and definition of organic and the differences from conventional vegetables or foods.Main features of organic vegetables of foods are:

1) Organic farming severely restricts the use of artificial chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
2) Instead, organic farmers rely on developing a healthy, fertile soil and growing a mixture of crops.
3) Animals are reared without the routine use of drugs, antibiotics and wormers common in intensive livestock farming.

Besides, Synthetic dyes and ingredients such as Sudan1 can cause cancer,genetically modified (GM) crops and ingredients are not allowed under organic standards.

Organic vs. conventional grown vegetables - Why buy organic?
There are many good reasons to support organic as when we buy organic produced vegetables or foods, We are not only getting the benefits of health as organic produced are believed to have higher nutrients than conventional produced foods but we also help to preserve good soil and growing good crops on our mother earth. As an organic eater for more than 5 years now, I REALLY FEEL THE DIFFERENCES!Still remember that i used to visit doctors frequently before supporting organic. I feel the improvements in my health,skin conditions and also a healthy weight.Trust me..You don't need to spend loads of money on your supplements,beauty products and slimming package by eating organic foods.

However,we need to eat in balance way where we need all different types of foods.We need to try to consume different colours from foods.Include more vegetables and fruits in your diet.Afterall, choosing organic or conventional is your choice and you will never going to feel the differences until you try it yourself.

Where to buy organic vegetables and foods?

1)You can get them at most of the supermarkets like Jusco,Tesco,Giant,Carrefour,Cold Storage and Etc.
2) Organic Chain stores like Just Life ,Country Farm and small organic stores around residential area.

My preference to buy vegetables is JustLife as the vegetables are really fresh and from good suppliers!
