A recent comprehensive review of more than 97 studies evaluated the benefits of organics. In the report, "New Evidence Confirms the Nutritional Superiority of Plant-Based Organic Foods," researchers found that organic, plant-based foods contain higher levels of eight out of 11 nutrients studied. That includes significantly greater concentrations of health-promoting antioxidants and polyphenols. But what's more, researchers concluded that organically grown plant foods are 25 percent more nutrient-dense. That means they deliver more nutrition - calorie for calorie - than their conventional counterparts.
Fill your plate with an organic superfood smorgasbord to maximize the health benefits of every bite. You can go green - without spending too much green - by choosing organic foods that are grown locally.
