The truth is that, over the last few years, the organic market has been gaining more and more fans! But why is this change so important?<\/h2>\n<p>If, a few years ago, <strong>organic products<\/strong> were a niche market, today we see this type of food everywhere, whether in markets, grocery stores or even supermarkets exclusively dedicated to organic sales! Even ordinary supermarkets are starting to have an area dedicated to this sector, while restaurants and brands are incorporating the consumption of more natural and less aggressive products into their genesis, both for us and for the planet! We know one thing for sure: <strong>organic food<\/strong> brings us many advantages. Take a look:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Organic food&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>&#8230; respects our needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Organic production<\/strong> favors seasonal foods. If you think that nature knows what it&#8217;s doing, there&#8217;s a reason why in winter there are many more citrus fruits, rich in vitamins that boost our immune system. In summer, we see more water-rich fruit and vegetables, the consumption of which contributes to our hydration. By eating organic, we respect the seasonality of food and nourish ourselves with what we need for the time of year we are in!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8230; it&#8217;s tastier!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Organic food<\/strong> has a higher concentration of nutrients and contains less water than conventional food. This means that <strong>organic food<\/strong> tastes richer and more authentic!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8230; and there are no chemicals!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Organic production<\/strong> does not use synthetic fertilizers, non-organic pesticides or growth regulators. Thus, eating organic food minimizes our intake of substances that are harmful to our health and our <strong>ecological footprint<\/strong>. For all these reasons, <strong>organic food<\/strong> is more than a &#8220;fad&#8221;, it is the promotion of a careful and balanced lifestyle that respects not only our bodies, but also the <strong>environment<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ready to start exploring the world of organic?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Grab your<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/edenred.pt\/en\/benefits\/edenred-refeicao\/\">Euroticket Refei\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and equip yourself with the best ingredients.
