A growing number of consumers are concerned about the health risks of conventionally  raised fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.  While the USDA has not endorsed organic fruit as “healthier”, a number of independent studies have found non-organic fruits and vegetables to contain residue from pesticides and other chemicals. A ten-year study sponsored by the European Union found that organically raised produce crops tend to contain higher antioxidant content than their conventional counterparts. In January 2006, Consumer Reports issued an article listing conventionally grown produce and fruit with the highest levels of pesticides. Other studies have pointed out the potential benefits to children from reducing the amount of trace pesticides in their bodies.  Besides the potential health benefits, many consumers find the flavor and sweetness of organic fruits to be superior to those grown conventionally.  As your premier supplier of organic foods, Goodness Greeness offers over 500 of the freshest organic and natural food products week in and week out throughout the year!
