Why Organic?

At Rainforest foods we believe that organic superfoods are the best for several reasons. There is ever-growing evidence of organic food’s health benefits. By increasing the proportion of your diet that is produced organically, you reduce the amount of toxic chemicals, genetically modified organisms, food additives and colourings that you ingest. This reduces stress on your major organs, which will have to work less hard to extract toxins from our systems. Organic foods contain more beneficial vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, so you can gain more energy, more nutrition and greater health benefits by consuming them. Superfoods are by their nature, unusually rich in beneficial vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

Science has for several years now been studying the value claimed for organic food production, with the aim of quantifying what has for a long time been demonstrated by common observation. This research is ongoing, and will continue. Thus far, studies have shown that moving to organic foods can reduce the incidence of common conditions such as cancer, coronary heart disease, allergies and child hyperactivity. Organic farming is considered better for the environment than conventional production. It offers the potential to reduce greenhouse gases, improve air and water quality, reduce waste and soil erosion and increase the diversity of plant and animal species. As a company, Rainforest Foods is certified by the Soil Association. Its standards are some of the most stringent in the world, exceeding those set by both UK and EU governments. They cover every aspect of a food’s journey, how it is grown, harvested, processed, packaged, transported and sold. They aim to ensure that your diet includes completely, 100% organic supplements.
