Organic food is better for you than conventional products, according to scientific research.
A study undertaken at the University of California carried out tests on kiwis and found that the organic versions of the fruit had higher levels of polyphenols than conventional produce.
Polyphenols are a compound also found in red wine and coloured berries, which are said to have health benefits.
The organic versions of the product were also found to have higher levels of vitamin C, according to the research published in Chemical and Industry.
