Completely anecdotal but still legit question: why the organic version of a product is usually more tasty?

Completely anecdotal but still legit question: why the organic version of a product is usually more tasty?
- Karrot_Kream 2y agoThis is a purely anecdotal response so I don't think anyone should draw big conclusions from my answer. In my experience, the farms and outlets that adhere to organic labeling tend to care more about the quality of the product. Obviously in theory, being organic is orthogonal to being tasty. But if you're going for "air-chilled, organic, free range chicken breast" you're probably just shopping for a tastier product than regular chicken breast. Do be careful about which organic labeling is on the product as there's subtle differences to different organic labels.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 2y agoThank you, I suspected something along those lines because the reality in the mind of the consumer organic = tastier product, so in a certain way companies aiming for organic are aiming to appear "tastier"
- Turing_Machine 2y agoTypically because they're varieties that need a lot of hand-babying, which the higher prices of organic foods can support. The cheap stuff consists of varieties bred for productivity and shipping ruggedness. That's fine if you're privileged enough to afford the organic stuff. Not so much if you're a poor person in need of raw calories.
