Organic foods
The rising popularity of organic foods might seem relatively new but using natural products that are non-GMO and pesticide-free goes back ages. Nutritious and bursting with flavour, organic foods are good for your health and good for the planet. Metro offers hundreds of products that are certified organic, and customers can easily find them online and in store. It’s never been easier to fill your shopping cart with organic products.

What exactly are the health benefits of organic food? Some people make the switch due to health problems while others simply want to eat better to stay healthy as they age. The benefits are clear: organic food has a higher nutritional value and was not produced using chemical products or hard metals. When it comes to organic foods, you don’t need to adopt an “all or nothing” mindset. You can incorporate only a few organic ingredients and reap their benefits. It’s also important to keep in mind that it’s never too late to adopt healthy dietary habits, even progressively.
How exactly are organic products better for the planet? The benefits of organic farming are enormous. Certified producers comply with high standards in terms of soil and animal care. They don’t use any GMOs or pesticides and don’t sacrifice the health of the earth, plants, or insects for bigger yields.
What about the future? Beyond being an individual preference, eating organic foods can be perceived as an ethical choice and a way to take part in a global movement that seeks to preserve the environment and guarantee a quality of life for future generations. There are so many reasons to make choices that are more eco-friendly.
