There are some people that believe that organic vegetables and conventionally-grown food are the same. This is not the truth. There are indeed some differences that can be noted between food grown with organic agriculture and those utilizing a conventional approach.
A list of the most noted differences are given below
Organic vegetables and fruits look less appealing. Often they are shaped irregularly and appear less attractive.
*Form varies a lot.: For instance you might get an asymmetric apple compared to the ones that have been specifically developed for commercial benefits.
*Uniformity problem: Vegetables grown through organic process while lack the "perfect" nature of their conventional counterparts. For instance tomato may be red on one side and yellow on the other.
* Heterogeneous sizes: The organic vegetables will come in different sizes some may be large while others might be smaller.
* Smaller size: giant cauliflowers and apples are full of water and doped with chemical fertilizers!
From a taste point of view, the flavors of organic fruit and vegetables are sometimes more pronounced, because, like all organic vegetable crops, they grew more slowly and have had time to develop aromas. This holds true for vegetables such as carrots and some fruits such as apples.
For people on a diet they might be quite useful as they contain less water (and therefore more dry matter: they are more nutritious), more vitamins (C, beta-carotene), minerals (iron, magnesium) and polyphenols (antioxidants).
Another interesting advantage of organic vegetables is that they contain fewer vegetables. Indeed as there is less usage of pesticides and fertilizers there is less accumulation of chemicals and this can allow you to consume the products without any risk.
