Organic Tomatoes are Healthier
A 10-year study by the University of California at Davis found that organic tomatoes have higher levels of key nutrients than their conventionally grown counterparts.
The study, published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry on June 23, 2007, found higher levels of flavonoids - substances that stimulate health-protective antioxidant activity in the body - in tomatoes grown organically. The study found that the flavonoids quecetin and kaempferol were on average 79 and 97 percent higher, respectively.
