With the abuse of various hormones and fertilizers in the process of fruit and vegetable planting, the "low-nutrition food era" is unpredictable. At the same time, organic vegetables that do not use pesticides, fertilizers, growth hormones and other chemicals in the planting process are increasingly becoming the first choice of consumers.
Summer health, "organic" first.
It is three or four times more expensive than ordinary vegetables, and there are still many repeat customers.
Tomatoes and cucumbers, which cost more than ten yuan a catty, may be scared away by such a high price if they are placed in the stalls of ordinary farmers' markets. However, in the BHG supermarket on the second floor of Shuiyou City, there is no shortage of this vegetable.
Yesterday morning, the reporter met Ms. Xu who was shopping for organic vegetables at the Planck organic vegetable counter in the supermarket. A bag of small vegetables and two tomatoes took Ms. Xu near 10 yuan.
"Compared with ordinary vegetables, the retail price of organic vegetables may be three or four times more expensive, but the taste is really different and it tastes healthier." Ms. Xu told reporters that in summer, the pests were more serious. She is worried that small vegetables in the farmers' market will have pesticide residues, but organic vegetables will not use pesticides. That alone makes her feel at ease.
According to Song Ning, general manager of Planck Science and Trade Co., Ltd., after nearly 10 years of development, Planck brand organic vegetable specialty stores in Wei Gang, Lanyuan and other 10 farmers' markets have trained tens of thousands of loyal organic vegetable "diners". "In addition to the BHG supermarket in Shuiyou City, Planck's organic vegetables can also be bought in some stores in suguo supermarket. I hope that through our efforts, more consumers will accept organic vegetables. " General manager Song said.
The content of beneficial minerals in organic vegetables is higher than 25%.
Maybe everyone will feel this way. Nowadays, many vegetables in the farmers' market look like flowers and taste like sawdust. "One of the most important reasons is that many vegetable farmers, driven by economic interests, have broken the traditional fertilization methods and made the soil salinized and hardened." The person in charge of Nanjing Guo Huan Organic Product Certification Center said that in the process of planting organic vegetables, chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers and growth hormones are not used, and the contents of antioxidants, vitamins and various beneficial minerals are more than 25% higher than those of ordinary vegetables.
The reporter learned through the Internet that a continuous 10-year study in the United States found that the content of antioxidant flavonoids in organic tomatoes is almost twice that of tomatoes grown with inorganic fertilizers, and antioxidant flavonoids can fight heart disease, hypertension and stroke.
Experts from Yiguang, Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that if you insist on eating organic vegetables every day in midsummer, you can not only eliminate the harm of various harmful substances left by eating ordinary vegetables, but also meet the human body's demand for various nutrients and reduce the occurrence of diseases such as summer heat and anorexia.
When buying organic vegetables, the first choice is a regular brand store.
How do people choose organic vegetables for organic vegetables and ordinary vegetables with similar appearance? In this regard, the quality inspection department reminds consumers that they can rely on the taste first. Organic vegetables taste crisp, and even when cooked, they still taste different. Secondly, it is best to choose a regular organic vegetable brand store to buy, or go to a special brand counter in a large supermarket to buy, so that the quality can be guaranteed.
Finally, the packaging of general organic vegetables will have the organic certification mark issued by the Organic Food Development Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration. Consumers should pay attention to the certification mark when purchasing.
