Why Organic Ingredients Matter in Catering

Every year, it seems like more and more people are choosing organic catering providers. If you’re like many, you’ve probably wondered whether organic ingredients are really better than conventionally grown food. The fact is there’s mounting evidence that organic food is better for your body, mental health and the environment.

What Does Organic Mean?

Organic foods are foods that are produced without the use of GMOs, synthetic or chemical pesticides. Organic livestock used for food is fed an organic diet and allowed access to the outdoors. These animals are typically not given antibiotics or growth hormones.

Understanding GMOs

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are bioengineered genes used to make crops resistant to herbicides. GMOs are also used to helps crops produce their own insecticide. GMO crops are sprayed with toxic herbicide up to fifteen times more than non-GMO crops.

There is a lot of debate about whether GMOs are safe. Whatever your opinion, it’s important to consider that more people are choosing to eat organic in an effort to avoid GMOs. Keep this in mind when planning your next event.

Health Benefits of Organic Catering

There are a number of benefits to eating organic. Organic foods have more nutrients than conventionally grown foods. They do not contain chemicals that can be harmful to your health. People with allergies often find that their symptoms subside when they eat an organic diet.

The way that organic foods are produced helps minimize the health risks to farmers and their families. Supporting organic farming helps keep harmful chemicals out of the air, soil and drinking water.
