ORGANIC FOOD AND WINE IMPORTERS, FOR THE BEST TASTE AND NUTRITIONAL VALUE
The biggest study ever of organic food was completed in 2007 and found that organic fruit and vegetables contain up to 40% more antioxidants than conventional equivalents, and that the figure was 60% for organic milk. The 4-year study was funded by the European Union and was the largest of its kind ever undertaken. A 2001 study by researchers at Washington State University concluded, under judgment by a panel of tasters, that organic apples were sweeter. Along with taste and sweetness, the texture as well as firmness of the apples were also rated higher than those grown conventionally. These differences are attributed to the greater soil quality resulting from organic farming techniques compared to those of conventional farming. Some studies have shown higher nutrient levels in organic fruit and vegetables compared with conventionally grown products. However, due to the difficulty with designing such experiments, the evidence was not considered conclusive until the release of the University of Sheffield study in 2007.
A 2002 meta-analysis (a review of all past studies on the subject) found no proof that organic food offers greater nutritional values, more consumer safety or any distinguishable difference in taste.
A new report published in March 2008 by The Organic Center, which promotes organic wine and food, claims that organic food is on average 25% more nutritious than conventional food.
Cost
For the organic wine importers it’s important the price of this products. Organic products typically cost 10 to 40% more than similar conventionally produced products. Processed organic foods vary in price when compared to their conventional counterparts. An Australian study by Choice magazine in 2004 found processed organic foods in supermarkets to be 65% more expensive, but noted this was not consistent. Prices may be higher because organic produce is produced on a smaller scale, and may need to be milled or processed separately. Furthermore, there is an increase in shipping costs from more centralized production in otherwise regional markets. In the case of dairy and eggs, the animal’s requirements such as the number of animals that can be raised per acre, or the breed of animal and its feed conversion ratio affects the cost.
cheapest place to get 1 gallon glass bottles?
I’m looking to make some wine and I’d like to change one variable in each batch (yeast type, juice type, length of fermentation, juice to water ratio, etc.). In an effort to save time, I’d like to run each variable in parallel… So I’m able to compare the results at once.
I’ve heard organic apple juice can still be had in stores in glass but that’s pretty close to the same cost and empty jugs from brewing stores ($5-6)
Any ideas are appreciated.
