Nutrients in organic food
It isn't clear whether organic food has more nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, than does conventionally grown food.
The level of nutrients in food depends on a host of factors. Nutrients may be different between varieties of a plant. Levels also depend on the quality of the soil, harvest time, and the way products are stored and for how long.
Organic ingredients may be added to processed products that are high in calories, sodium or added sugar. So check the label of organic products as you would for any food.
