Some Organic Food Products you should Try

Organic food products are food that is produced with no use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers and is known to be “healthier” than regularly produced food products. This different farming method of organic food products lead to a difference in price between the organic product and normal food product.  

However, there are insufficient studies to show that organic foods are safer, healthier, or more nutritious than conventional foods. However, it does not hurt to eat “cleaner” food that does not come into contact with chemical pesticides and fertilizers right? Organic ingredients can help to deepens the flavour of food and as no pesticides are used, it could possibly be better for your health :)

Why not start off by trying some if these organic products in your diet!

1. Organic pastry flour
Organic pastry flour has less protein content so baked pastry made from organic flour would be softer.

Protein gives baked goods a structure.

2. Organic coconut oil
Organic coconut oil can be used to substitute any kind of oil but the baked goods would have a coconut taste.

3. Organic honey
Honey can be used to substitute sugar but reduce the amount of liquids in the recipe. Honey has a mellow and warm taste and is not as sweet as cane sugar.

4. Organic cane sugar
Sometimes sugar cannot be substituted as it needs to be creamed with butter to make it light and fluffy.

5. Organic pecans
The taste of organic pavan taste nuttier and sweeter when toasted. Add pecans to fruit cakes, tarts, muffins for a deliciously aromatic fragrance.

6. Organic milk, cream and butter
These organic finds are easy to be found in any local grocer and are great substitutes for regular dairy products.

7. Organic eggs
Organic eggs do not contain high levels of antibiotics and hormones that are injected into the chicken and  have limited amounts of harmful elements in them compared to ordinary eggs.

8. Organic fruits
Strawberries and stone fruits are some of the common fruits that are added into cakes but they also attract a lot of bugs and hence are constantly strayed with insecticide. Getting organic fruits limit the amount of insecticide consumed into the body and also control the quality of cakes.

9. Organic Medjool dates
Medjool dates add sweetness, flavour, fibre and texture to baked goods. Dates can be mashed, sliced or diced.

10. Sea salt
Although sea salt is not an organic food, it adds depth of flavour to food which cannot be found in ordinary salt.
