When it comes to food “Organic” means the way agricultural products are grown and processed. Organic livestock raised for consumption must be raised in living conditions which replicate their natural behaviours and fed organic feed and forage, similarly Organic produce must be grown naturally without fertilizers but with manures and compost.

We at Homewood delights are big believers in Organic food, it is naturally good for your body and overall mental and emotional health, your general well being and it benefits the environment.

Here we explain how Organic differs from Non organic produce.

• Organic foods often have more nutrients and anti oxidants when compared to the conventionally grown counterparts.

• Organic food contains fewer pesticides, chemicals such as insecticides and herbicides are widely used in normal produce and its residue remains when we eat.

• Organic food is often more fresher as it contains less preservatives.

• Organic farming is better for the environment, its practice reduces pollution, soil erosion, conserves water and uses less energy.

• Organically raised animals are not given growth hormones, fed animal by products or given any antibiotics.

• Organic Produce is often GMO free (Genetically Modified Organisms) GMO products have their DNA altered in ways that cannot happen in a natural habitat. Please have a look at Homewood delights organic range here
