Organic vs Non Organic
Non-Organic Tomatoes vs Organic
Non-organic tomatoes on the left, organic on the right.
After a week on the sunny kitchen windowsill (we should keep tomatoes out of the fridge if we want any proper taste), where they had been allowed to ripen, this is what happened.
The non-organic variety on the left had not changed AT ALL, no ripe process had taken place.
The non-organic variety on the left had not changed AT ALL, no ripe process had taken place.
They looked like plastic, they tasted awfully sour. It looked like a dodgy product.
Organic tomatoes were quite similar at the time of purchase. Over a week they changed, clearly and pleasantly - gaining in colour and taste. The green part had naturally dried and darkened. All-natural processes.
In a science documentary a few years ago - a laboratory person took some tomatoes under scrutiny and concluded: the tomatoes we now know, have about 80% of the nutrients less that the tomatoes we have eaten in the 1960s, 1970s - they are closer to the organic variety.
You would have to eat five of those on the left to get the benefit of one of those on the right.
Conclusion: bin the non-organic tomatoes from the shopping list. Truly horrible. You intoxicate yourself with hell and industrial farmers know what.
