Скачать или смотреть The Ugly Truth About Organic Vegetables

June 2023

It's important to remember that the focus of organic farming is on using sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and reducing chemical usage, and not how good the produce will look. While the appearance of organic vegetables may look bad, they still offer the same or even superior nutritional value and taste compared to treated produce.

Remember, conventionally grown vegetables often undergo cosmetic treatments, such as waxing or polishing, to improve their appearance and shelf life. My organic vegetables were left untreated, which contributed to them having a natural and "ugly" appearance, but their appearance does not change how good they taste!

Organic farming embraces the natural diversity and seasonal variations of crops. This means that organic vegetables have different shapes, sizes, or colors compared to their conventionally grown counterparts. This variation is a testament to the uniqueness and authenticity of organic produce. There's nothing wrong with eating the eggplant after the bug's had its dinner. You can always cut away the imperfections, throw them in your compost, and eat the rest of the vegetables like usual. Don't forget that everyone, including the bugs, have to eat.
