A&Z Zucchini Salsa and our granola
In our products we use the freshest, most local, and organic ingredients possible. We try to grow as many of the vegetables as possible for A&Z salsa using organic practices. What we don't grow ourselves we try to buy as locally as possible from farmers who also choose to grow organically. The spices we us are organic spices. We also, don't add any unnatural preservatives or MSG to our products.
Why is organic and local products better? When we choose organic we aren't just choosing not to eat harsh sometimes carcinogenic chemicals that are put on our food, but it benefits us and the earth in a multitude of ways: -"It is proven that organic food is fresher and more nutritious than conventional food. On average organic food contains higher levels of vitamin C and essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, and chromium, as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants. -"In addition, it doesn't contain food additives, which can cause health problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis, migraines, weight gain, and hyperactivity. " -Organic farmers reject genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their livestock is free of drugs and hormones. - Ecologically organic farming doesn't devastate the soil like conventional farming does. Using chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers destroy a large part of the microbial activity in the soil (bacteria and fungi) that help to make soil minerals more available to the plants roots. -Most people who grow organically are not large farms. |
