When shopping for ingredients, what do you value most?

For modern people who pay attention to healthy diet, in addition to satisfying their appetite, everyone begins to pay more attention to the quality and safety of food: Is the food fresh,whether there are pesticide residues,whether it is genetically modified food.

Nowadays, some people stay more at organic food counters when they consume, preferring to spend more money to buy a safe and secure.Where do all those fancy, expensive, "certified organic"-labeled foods come from? Why is it so expensive? Compared with ordinary food, what is "organic" better than?Organic, protect the health and safety on the tip of the tongue.As the saying goes, "disease enters through the mouth",every food we eat is closely related to health.It is precisely because of the strict requirements from the seed to the soil and the production process that the safety of organic food is guaranteed.In addition,organic food does not use any synthetic substances such as chemical fertilizers,pesticides,hormones,antibiotics,and food additives in the production process, and contains more nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, heavy metals, and nitrates.The content of harmful substances is also relatively low, which is equivalent to reducing the chance of human body ingesting pollutants and preventing the decline of immunity caused by it.Organic agriculture advocates maintaining the natural ingredients of products, and retains the original taste and nutrients of food to the greatest extent. For modern people who pay attention to food safety and nutrition, organic food is a healthy choice.In terms of nutritional value,the academic circle has not yet reached a consensus on which one has higher nutritional value, organic food or non-organic food.Many people abroad support organic food, mainly based on encouraging this environmentally friendly production method.

Look for Certified Organic

There are organic product certification marks on the packaging of organic food,including the name or logo of the certification body, and the organic code (one organic product has one code,and the authenticity can be distinguished by scratching).Currently, the organic market is regulated by some of the most important organic importing countries and a growing number of organic producing countries.Generally speaking, the more certifications obtained, the higher the recognition of the quality of the product.More representative certification marks,such as the EU organic certification mark,the Japanese organic agriculture standard (JAS) mark, the USDA certification mark of the United States Department of Agriculture,the Chinese organic product certification mark, etc.

Let's take acerola cherry, the king of vitamin C in the fruit world, as an example to unveil the mystery of organic food.According to the definition of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture,organic food is produced and processed according to organic agriculture and organic food production and processing standards, and is issued by an authorized organic certification organization. All food for human consumption.

Strict control of soil quality

The soil for planting acerola cherries needs to go through a two-year preparation period.During this period, soil testing is carried out, that is, natural fertilizers such as calcium carbonate and farmyard manure are applied to ensure that the soil reaches a suitable pH for acerola cherries (pH=7).During the planting process, the amount of sunlight exposure is strictly controlled, and the quantitative natural water is irrigated twice a day; the organic fertilizer made by fermenting pruning mixed with sheep manure and other pulverized materials covers the soil, which is conducive to maintaining the balanced nutrition of the soil, water permeability, moisture retention and breathability.

Strictly eliminate chemical fertilizers and insist on organic fertilizers

During the nursery stage, organic compounds, castor bean meal and rock meal fertilizers are used to promote healthy plant growth. The organic compound is a mixture of sheep manure and various crushes from farming, which need to be turned every 20 days; rock dust is mineral rock extracted from the mine, which is rich in phosphates.Before planting the trees, the first layer of soil (20 cm thick) dug out of the hole was separated from the second layer of soil.The second layer of soil was mixed with organic matter and backfilled in the hole before planting the cherry trees.Before picking, the fruit grower will prune the cherry trees once, and the pruned branches are mixed with sheep manure and other pulverized materials to ferment to make organic fertilizer, which is used for fertilizing the cherry trees in the later stage.Unlike chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers are non-toxic, and the chemical composition of the cherries grown is purer and safer. At the same time, organic farming does not damage the environment, and is an agricultural method that lives in harmony with nature.

Strictly eliminate pesticides and insecticides

In the process of planting, it is absolutely not allowed to use any pesticides and insecticides, insist on using biological control methods to eliminate insects, such as ladybugs, caterpillars can resist aphids, and natural enemies of pests, such as birds, frogs Wait until the pests are eaten to get rid of the pests.
