There is mounting evidence to suggest organic fruit is more nutritionally dense and higher in key antioxidants than non organic fruit.

• Higher Antioxidants: Some studies suggest that organic fruits tend to have higher levels of certain antioxidants, such as vitamin C, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. These antioxidants play a role in protecting your cells from damage and reducing inflammation.
• Potentially Higher Nutrients: Some research also suggests that organic fruits may have higher concentrations of nutrients like vitamin C, magnesium, and other minerals. This can be especially true for fruits that are grown in richer, more diverse soils, which are common in organic farming.

• Reduced Chemical Exposure: One of the main reasons people choose organic fruit is to reduce exposure to synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Organic farming avoids or severely limits the use of these chemicals, which can sometimes remain as residues on conventionally grown produce.
• Healthier for You: Although conventional fruits often have pesticide residues that fall within legal limits, some people choose organic fruit to avoid even these low-level exposures, especially given potential long-term health concerns like hormone disruption, cancer risk, and neurological damage.
• Lower Risk of Antibiotic Resistance: Conventional farming methods sometimes use antibiotics to prevent disease in crops or livestock. Organic farming does not use these practices, which reduces the potential for antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

• Reduced Environmental Impact: Organic farming practices aim to minimize the environmental impact by avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can contaminate soil and water sources. Organic farms tend to use crop rotation, composting, and other sustainable practices that promote soil health and reduce environmental degradation.
• Biodiversity and Soil Health: Organic fruit farms often focus on maintaining biodiversity by avoiding GMOs and promoting healthy ecosystems. The use of natural fertilizers, like compost, can help improve soil structure and reduce erosion. Organic farming also tends to have less impact on local wildlife, as it avoids the use of toxic chemicals that can harm insects, birds, and other animals.
• Carbon Footprint: Organic farming tends to have a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional methods, partly due to its focus on sustainable practices, local sourcing, and reduced chemical use. While organic farming can sometimes require more land to produce the same amount of yield (especially in the short term), the long-term environmental benefits can be significant.

Organic fruits are grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but Apeel technology is an added processing step that can be applied to both organic and conventionally grown produce.

If you’re looking for organic fruit treated with Apeel, you would need to check the product labels or ask the vendor if that specific fruit has been coated with Apeel.
