Organic fruit and vegetables are grown without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Green Monkey™ baby food is made using 100% New Zealand Organic ingredients and made in a facility that is certified to meet strict world class food safety standards.
The long-term health effects of pesticide exposure to humans are not fully known. What we do know is that children who eat organically grown foods are exposed to fewer pesticides than children who do not.
Not only do organically grown foods provide the benefit of ingesting less pesticides, they can also be more nutritious! Studies show that organic fruits and vegetables have higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce. Giving your baby fresh and delicious foods will help them learn to enjoy healthy eating now and in the future.
To many people, the main reason to eat organically grown and processed food is to support sustainable farming methods that are more friendly to our planet earth. Organic methods include crop rotation, composting, and the use of insects and natural substances to control pests that may otherwise damage crops. Organic farms have less top-soil loss and generate less pollution than conventional farms reducing our carbon footprint and helping us all be greener monkeys.
