Organic Cranberries


Organic Cranberries

      Why Organic? As in other crops, oil based pesticides, and herbicides, are used in non-organic cranberries. If these chemicals weren't oil based, rain, and water in the cranberry bog, would wash them off, defeating their purpose. After harvesting, the berries are washed off with cold water, which does nothing to remove an oil based chemical.
      As in other foods, if they aren't organic, chemicals are also used to fertilize the crop. When the soil isn't organically enriched, the soil isn't prepared, crops aren't rotated to prevent depletion of the soil, we don't get the nutrients we need from our food, one of the reasons the US has as much malnutrition as third world countruies. 
      So, "Go Organic" and get what you pay for, clean, nutrient rich, fruits and vegetables.
