I've been buying organic produce for years and it definitely doesn't taste as good as non-organic produce. An organic banana is about half the size of a non organic banana, it is more mealy and it does not taste nearly as good. But if I bought food on taste alone I would live on Ben and Jerry's. I know the definitions of "Organic" are full of loopholes but I generally think that whatever they did to make the banana twice as big and twice as tasty is probably not good for me.
- darshan 17y agoThat's weird. Bananas are one of the few foods I buy organic -- specifically because they're bigger and tastier than the non-organic ones. My guess is that the fact that the organic bananas you have access to are small and mealy has nothing to do with them being organic. Your store must just get their organic and non-organic bananas from totally different places, and the organic ones just happen to suck.
- uuilly 17y agoI've lived in 3 different cities and shopped at many different stores. The Chiquita bananas that claim to be organic are huge and look exactly like the non-organic ones. I've always thought they were probably stretching the definition of organic so I've avoided those ones.
