Organic Strawberries Win!

A study performed on organic vs conventional California strawberries found that

"organic strawberries (compared to non-organic strawberries):

• Had a longer shelf life (took longer to rot)
• Had a greater quantity of dry matter
• Had higher antioxidant activity
• Had higher levels of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
• Had higher concentrations of health-protecting compounds (phenolic compounds)
• Had lower concentrations of phosphorus
• Had lower concentrations of potassium"

 Presumably the lower levels of phosphorus and potassium are due to the lack of chemical fertilizer, which generally contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K).    Hey, no methyl bromide residue, either!
