People think that they are eating healthy if they are eating fruit, without understanding what goes into the fruit they are eating. The fruit you are eating is most likely not as healthy as you thought it was if you are going to the grocery store and buying fruit that is not labeled as “organic.”
There are three things in specific that are done with the fruit you buy in the grocery store that you may not want done to the food you are eating! Firstly, there are the pesticides used on fruit that is not labeled as “organic” – which is not good for humans to consume. Secondly, most of this fruit is strangely large and lasts an unnaturally long time because it is grown using growth hormones and preservatives. And lastly, in order to make the fruits look shiny and more appealing when they are on display, the fruits are covered in a layer of wax (apples in particular!). Organic fruit is not that much more money than the substitute, and this is your best bet for eating fruit that is truly healthy for you.
Organic fruit is grown in a completely natural way– the same way you would grow fruit in a garden in your own backyard! This means that there are no unnatural hormones or preservatives used in them, and there are no unnatural pesticides used either. Of course, this makes the fruit healthier for you to eat, but it also makes the food far tastier than the fruit that is not grown in an organic manner.
There are two things you will need to keep in mind when you go shopping for organic fruits, and the first is that these fruits often will be a bit smaller. Do not be concerned, as this is natural, and as you will probably also find that you get filled up much more quickly eating these fruits. And secondly, make sure you do not buy in bulk, as these fruits will not last weeks and weeks in your pantry the way the less-natural fruit will!
If you enjoy eating fruit in order to “eat healthy,” make sure the fruit you are eating is as healthy for you as fruit is supposed to be!
