It’s something that we already believed at Plum HQ, but scientists who led the £12 million project into organic food, have reported that organic food is more nutritious than ordinary produce, and contains higher quantities of antioxidants which help ward off heart disease and cancer!
The scientists, and the Plum family, hope that the evidence will help persuade the Government to recommend organic produce and stop advising that eating it is merely a “lifestyle choice”.
Among the reports key findings, potatoes and carrots were among the organic produce found to be higher in vitamin C than their chemically-farmed counterparts.
Also higher levels of minerals and antioxidants were found in organically- farmed spinach and red cabbage, all of these are already key ingredients in our yummy Plum recipes!
