4 reasons to eat organic food

Due to the amount of pesticides, fungicides, hormones,… that conventional products contain, more and more people are opting for organic food. Today we are going to give you five reasons for eating this type of food, also called organic or ecological.

1. Organic products provide more nutrients than conventional ones. The difference is astonishing, as to get the same nutrients you would have to eat a lot more conventional food than organic.
2. Conventional food makes you ill more often due to the pesticides with which crops are sprayed. When we go to a supermarket, we look for the tomatoes that look the best, we want strawberries to last a long time in the fridge, which is why the food industry resorts to chemicals. But our bodies are not prepared to ingest so many agrochemicals.
3. When you eat organic products you are eating local products, which has two benefits. On the one hand, you are boosting your local economy. On the other hand, you are gaining in security as you know where the food has been produced, you even know the producers themselves and you know under what conditions they work.
4. You are collaborating on the maintenance of the diversity of the environment. The decline in bee populations and crop varieties is worrying. Thanks to small-scale producers, we continue to enjoy many varieties of vegetables, fruit, pulses and cereals.

For these four reasons, here at Tapería Orgánica, we want to encourage you to change your habits. Drop by our organic tapas bar in Málaga Go to a local market and eat healthily, eat well and do not pay over the odds to do so.
