It’s not like grocery store produce, which is usually grown far away, picked early for the lengthy trip, and then waxed and sprayed with preservatives so it will look beautiful and “fresh” for an unnaturally long period time.

IS ORGANIC WORTH IT?

And can you even trust organic labels?
When you've got nothing else to go on, that organic label seems like an easy solution.  Organic foods have a reputation for being more nutritious and safer.  Plus, organic can cost up to twice as much as conventional - must be better, right? The truth, it turns out, is complicated...

REAL FRESH vs FAKE FRESH

3 Things that make local food truly fresh + more nutritious, flavorful
The external appearance of modern produce tells you very little about what’s inside. 
Big Corporate Agriculture grows its produce all over the world, usually wherever they can get the job done the cheapest. So the produce has to be able to survive at least a week, and sometimes months, of travel and storage before it gets to a grocery store.

Needless to say I couldn’t cook or buy groceries. Although my husband is not comfortable in the kitchen and only a little more comfortable in a grocery store, he did pitch in to do his best at cooking and the shopping.
