“Organic” means many things, but better taste is not always one of them. It’s great that organic fruits and vegetables are free of synthetic pesticides, but you could be a lousy farmer and sell mediocre food using organic methods. On the flip side, many great farmers can’t afford organic certification but still grow high-quality, environmentally friendly produce. My advice: Get to know your food sources and be rigorous about inspecting and tasting the food for quality. Buy local whenever possible, and you’ll probably be rewarded with produce that’s fresh and delicious. It may seem exotic to eat an organic tomato from Chile, but that doesn’t mean it’ll taste any better than a nonorganic tomato from down the street.
