Organic Food: Trend OR Lifestyle?

We have all seen the hype around clean eating in recent years. Budding from this trend, the concepts of Organic Farming and ‘Organic Food’ have become popular among the health-conscious community.

But before we talk about the innumerable benefits of Organic Food, let’s understand what it really is.

What is Organic Food?

Organic food includes fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, spices and more, produced by means of organic farming.

Organic Food is untouched by chemical fertilizers, GMOs, synthetic additives or industrial solvents. Additionally, Organic Food includes milk and other dairy products obtained from animals reared naturally without the use of any growth hormones.

Organic farming is the most environmentally-ethical type of farming. It helps in maintaining the ecological balance while also safeguarding our biodiversity.

However, companies cannot just sell organic foods without specialized certification. The USDA Organic Certification is mandatory for the regulation of food safety standards in the US. 

We, at Dwarka Organic, have the USDA Organic Certification along with the Indian Organic Certification and adhere to the standards of OneCert to ensure that we deliver the freshest of produce. 

Why Choose Organic Food?

Organic Is Good For Earth:
The primary difference between organic and non-organic food is the way it is produced.

Organic farming eliminates artificial catalyzers, otherwise included in farming, which allows the crops to grow naturally. This also helps the soil retain its natural quality and keep all its nutrients intact.

Organic farming makes use of organic pesticides and fertilizers to boost the farming process and produce a blooming yield. It helps maintain the natural environment and boosts ecological wellbeing. 

Good For You:
Organic products, when compared to traditionally-produced food items, are fresher, more colorful and contain all their nutrients in the purest form.

In other words, Organic Food is as fresh as the food grown in your own garden.

The way we fuel our bodies is very important, especially during these times where our immunity is our greatest treasure. Organic food not only fuels your body but also nourishes it. Moreover, it’s super tasty!

These products are grown in the most fertile soil under the best possible conditions. Furthermore, they are grown without the use of artificial supplements. The use of pesticides is also very low. Naturally, the benefits of these foods are endless. 

Most people today have made the shift to organic. As we have realized the importance of a healthy lifestyle, Organic Food has become a staple choice in most households.

What started off as a trend, has now slowly transformed into a lifestyle. A lifestyle that takes care of the well-being of your family and the environment.
