Conventional produce tastes like shit after eating organic exclusively for over a decade.
I'm sure there's a lot of fraud and fuckery going on, but just going on the experience of consuming this stuff minimally prepared (rinsed/peeled) on a daily basis, conventional is disgusting. IMHO it's so bad it explains why many people hate fruits and veggies. It's flavorless and often has a chemical aftertaste.
This is in California which I've come to appreciate is a privileged place in the organic produce department, so YMMV.
- slothtrop 5y agoIME the best tasting produce is local. Apples from your state/province will taste better than organic/non-organic ones that are still in cold storage for the better part of the year and gassed for longevity.
- zwieback 5y agoProbably has nothing to do with organic and much to do with where your stuff comes from, time of harvest, care taken in transport, length of storage, etc. Since there's a strong correlation I guess it's good to buy organic. The best stuff I eat comes from my garden but I'm not organic - I use Miracle Gro and toss conventionally grown scraps in my compost. I don't use pesticides so for the most part I think I'm doing the right thing.
