Wholesome and healthy... these are the two main characteristics of organic foods which encourage consumers to buy them. An ever-increasing number of surveys and studies support this perception: the nutritional quality of organic foods is greater than that of other foodstuffs.

Organic fruit and vegetables provide a fine example. As they are not "crammed full" of synthetic chemical fertilisers, they contain less water and consequently more dry matter than conventional fruit and vegetables.
