A member asked:
How does organic have more nutrients? is it because the pesticides and chemicals in spray bug repellents for plants lower the nutrient content?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessary : Organic grown produce are ones that do not use pesticides or chemicals etc.. Nutrient content in the produce should be the same .. Only difference is your risk for pesticide exposure if the food is not adequately washed.
