Is Organic Produce More Nutritious?

This is me, Shelly Yorgesen, owner of both the Sunset Market at the Mall and the new Pier View Market at Snake River Landing....
I told my kids this is my Grand Champion cabbage, it puts a basketball to shame it is so big!! We grew our best garden ever in 2010, we started everything we could with plants purchased at our Market. In years past we have purchased from change stores but this year we had growers with everything we needed and we filled our garden with plants that were acclimated to our region. The results were phenomenal.
Here is an interesting note from the Nutrition Diva's book called " Secrets for a Healthy Diet:"
Because we place such a high value these days on doing things naturally, we expect that organic vegetables should be more nutritious than non organic ones. In fact, the research has shown mixed results. Some studies have found higher levels of nutrients in organic vegetables; others have found that organic produce was no more nutritious than regular vegetables. A few even found that conventional produce had more nutrients. In a review of 162 different studies on the nutritional content of organic versus conventional produce, British researchers recently concluded that that organics are, on average, no more nutritious than regular vegetables.
Because nutrients begin to fade as soon as produce is picked, how fresh the produce is has a much bigger impact on the nutritional content than whether it was conventionally or organically grown. A conventionally raised tomato that you buy at a roadside stand the day after it is picked is almost certain to contain more nutrients than an organically raised tomato that was picked two weeks ago and shopped to your grocery store from another continent.
---the Nutrition Diva
The Diva's "quick and dirty secret:" Buying organic reduces your exposure to the pesticides but doesn't have a big effect on the nutritional quality.....
Just a plug for stopping an BUYING at the Markets!!!
