10 Reasons Why Organic Food Cost More

You walk through the supermarket ailes comparing prices of the strawberries in the fruit section. One punnet is $3.99 and another punnet which is certified organic is $6.99. Almost doubled in price. Depending where in Australia you purchase organic produce you can expect to pay around 20 - 100% premium.

So is the higher price for organic food justified?

Organic food has taken some beating from the public due to the expensive price tag that comes with it. Now we can go into a debate about the claims of scientific evidence showing organic produce containing more nutrition. Or counter reports showing organic produce having no nutritional advantage over conventional foods.

So you are putting less toxins into your body when consuming organic foods.
