Why are the Differences between Organic and Non-Organic Ingredients?

Hi, This is my first "real" post. I'm just starting with this blog, therefore feel free to give feedback. Other than that enjoy my blog!

The main difference from a consumer point of view, is the price of the ingredients. Usually the price of non-organic ingredients will be substantially cheaper. Although what most consumers do not know is that non-organic ingredients are actually chemically developed.


Organic ingredients first and foremost, do not use any form of chemicals and  fertilisers, which are harmful for consumers. Organic ingredients also have tighter demands. The first is the location of the greenhouse or plantation. The greenhouse has to have clean air and have access to clean water to be deemed safe enough for organic ingredients. This creates a very tough standard to meet, and some farmers cannot cultivate their crops organically due to this. Which is why organic ingredients are more rare and expensive.

Secondly, due to the tight demands of organic rules, some organic crops are even thrown away, due to the specific crop not meeting the standard. Therefore lesser organic ingredients make it to our supermarkets and public markets, this is also a factor of the price of organic Ingredients. Also organic ingredients are more ethical to buy compared to non-organic ingredients, as organic ingredients are unharmed by pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, and organic ingredients do not contribute towards pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.

Due to the lack of demand, organic ingredients are also getting smaller in number. Therefore it is also more expensive. What the consumers fail to realise are that organic ingredients are absolutely healthy due to it being naturally grown.

Therefore the purpose of this blog is to help the cause of Organic Ingredients!
