Good Food (5)

UNPROCESSED FOOD:

These foods have no added chemicals or additives. They are still in the orifinal state, the way nature grew it. Some packaged food and their ingredients are still unprocessed.


ORGANIC FOODS:

Foods that are free of chemicals. Unfortunately in Malaysia, there is no proper certification, so you are never sure whether it is truly organic.

Organic vegetables supply us with an excellent balance of minerals, trace elements and vitamins. The organic matter in soil is built up as a result of the breakdown of vegetable and animal matter by its natural residents – worms, bacteria and other microorganisms. The element of the organic matter is communicated to us when we eat the vegetables fresh.

Processed organic food is made without the use of artificial colours and flavours. Organic farming sets out strict control for the care of the animals who are organically fed.
