While just a few years ago, organic products could only be found in specialty food stores, they’re now widely available at most grocery stores and markets. Most people have a general sense that organic food is beneficial but may not be clear on the specific benefits it has to offer. With the recent increase in organic product lines, such as Sobeys’ Compliments Organic line, it is now easier than ever to incorporate organic food into busy lifestyles. This winter, consider the following reasons to eat ‘green’.1. It’s good for the environment. Organic fruits and vegetables are grown without conventional pesticides or artificial fertilizers.

2. Some prefer the taste of organic food. Organic farming starts with the nourishment of the soil, which some believe leads to better-tasting produce.

3. It’s high-quality food. For example, Compliments Organic products are certified to meet the highest standards set by Quality Assurance International (QAI).

4. Organic food includes more natural ingredients. The production of organic food includes natural ingredients that aren’t genetically modified.
