Organic Strawberries: Better for You and the Planet
If you are an organic strawberry lover, we’ve got great news for you: a ground-breaking two-year study at Washington State University found that organic strawberries have significantly higher antioxidant activity and concentrations of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds, longer shelf life, and dry matter than their conventional counterparts. In addition, the study, which compared 13 organic and conventional strawberry farms, found that organic soils excelled in the areas of carbon sequestration, nitrogen, microbial biomass, enzyme activities, and micronutrients. That means every time you enjoy organic strawberries, you are doing something great for yourself and the planet! Eat them up: it’s worth it!
