Remember that organic foods are not only without pesticides, as some believe consumers
Rio - Every day grows the discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of organic food around, especially when it comes to the high price of these products. The trend is that with the increase in household production, lower the value of these products.
Remember that organic foods are not only without pesticides, as believed by some consumers. They should also be free of chemical fertilizers, veterinary drugs, hormones and genetically modified organisms during their cultivation. Organic foods must also be submitted to hygiene as they are not exempt from contracting the virus. A few drops of chlorine added to filtered water already ensure good hygiene.
