A research shows that organic strawberries contain high levels of anti-cancer nutrients in comparison to fruits that are sprayed with chemical pesticides. The high cost of this organic fruit is worth paying. According to researchers naturally produces strawberries have longer shelf life and they are rich and fruitier flavor.
Their results add to an emergent proof that organic food is healthier than that of traditional fruit and vegetables. In a study trail researchers examined the taste, nutrition and quality of strawberries of three verities that were grown on thirteen organic and traditional farms in California plus thirty-one chemical and biological characteristics of the soil where they were grown.
It was found that organic fruit had considerably greater levels of antioxidants nutrients which wipe up potentially hazardous and cancer causing free radicals in the body and also last for longer periods. In blind taste test, participants told that they found organic strawberries more sweet and flavorsome.
When the participants saw the fruit they found strawberries from organic farms have better colour. It was also found by researchers that the soil of organic farms was healthier and surrounded with more bacteria and insect life. They show you can have high quality and healthy produce devoid of an armory of pesticides, explained lead author Dr John Reganold from Washington State University in U.S.
Their findings have universal insinuations and proceed what they know about the maintainability profits of organic systems, added Dr. Reganold. The levels of vitamins and antioxidants were greater in organic harvests, whereas the levels of poisonous chemicals and metals were lower found a major EU-funded study involving 31 universities and research institutes last year.
