Organic Is Better

There's a report on the Food Navigator web site that researchers have found that kiwis grown organically have a better nutritional profile than kiwis grown the usual way. The organic kiwi also retained its nutrients longer and performed better for total antioxidant activity. The research was undertaken by the University of California, Davis. It's possible that the pesticides used in the traditionally grown fruit are inhibiting the development of nutrients.
