- If you visit a farm, it’s very easy to know whether it’s organic or not. Bend down and pick up some soil in the cup of your palm and look at it, and smell it. If it’s dark, smells like soil, and you can see little organisms moving around, it’s likely to be organic. If the soil looks just like sand devoid of any life it’s likely to have been treated with chemicals.
- Taste – usually food that is grown organically tastes much better. You may also find tiny insects in them. For example, you may find cauliflower or broccoli with little larvae just as in the past. You might find tiny worms in some of your guavas. This does not mean that the fruits or vegetables are bad. On the contrary, it means that even these tiny organisms dared to eat that produce. It’s safe to eat! Today most of us like our fruits and vegetables clean and without any insects or blemishes. But that’s not how nature provides it. Eating these worms by mistake will not cause any harm, but eating foods covered with pesticides is definitely harmful.
