Organic fruits are more expensive than conventionally grown vegetables for a number of reasons, including: Production costs: Organic farming is more labor intensive and requires more natural inputs, like organic fertilizers and natural pest control. Organic farms are also typically smaller than conventional farms, so they don't benefit from economies of scale. Certification costs: Organic farms must meet strict certification standards, which can include application fees, annual certification fees, and inspection fees. Lower yields: Organic farms generally have lower yields than conventional farms because they don't use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Supply and demand: Organic food represents a smaller portion of the overall food market, but demand is growing. Post-harvest handling: Organic and conventional produce must be segregated, which adds to the cost of processing and transportation.

There is not much difference when it comes to storing. Here are some tips for storing organic fruits: Store whole: Keep fruits and vegetables whole to protect them from microorganisms and oxidation, which can cause discoloration and spoilage. Store in the right place: Different vegetables have different storage needs like: o Refrigerator: Store apples, pears, grapes, carrots, cabbage, and lettuce in the refrigerator. o Room temperature: Store bananas and avocados at room temperature until they ripen, then refrigerate. Also store tomatoes, tropical fruits like pineapples, melons, and mangoes at room temperature. o Cool, dark, and dry place: Store potatoes and onions in a cool, dark, and dry place.

Yes, you can eat organic fruits with the skin, especially if you plan to eat the whole fruit. The peels of many fruits and vegetables are edible and contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. However, some peels can be difficult to clean, hard to digest, or bitter, so it's best to remove them if they have those characteristics. Here are some tips for eating organic fruits with the skin: o Consider organic: Organic produce has lower pesticide residue and higher amounts of antioxidants than non-organic produce. o Wash produce: All produce should be washed under running water before eating. o Choose fruits with thin skin: Organic fruits with thin skin are generally better to buy. o Be aware of digestive issues: Eating the skin of some fruits, like peaches, may cause digestive discomfort for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or other digestive issues.

Yes, you can freeze organic fruits, and freezing fruit can help reduce food waste and extend its shelf life. o Choose the right fruit: Most fruits can be frozen, but some work better than others. For example, berries, bananas, and stone fruits like peaches and cherries freeze well, while fruits with high water content, like watermelons, can become mushy. o Prepare the fruit: Wash and dry the fruit, remove pits or large seeds, and peel bananas. o Freeze quickly: Freezing fruit as quickly as possible helps reduce cellular damage and the risk of mushiness. You can try flash-freezing the fruit by spreading it out on a baking sheet and freezing it until solid before transferring it to a freezer bag or airtight container. o Store properly: Use freezer-safe containers that are moisture and vapor-proof, and leave enough headspace for the fruit to expand. Remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing it. o Use within six to nine months: Frozen fruit is best used within six to nine months. o Thaw properly: Allow fruit to thaw at room temperature. Delicate berries can become mushy, so you can use them in smoothies, for baking, or as a topping before they're fully thawed.
