We love organic food, and to get the whole family on board, let's do a little education. But how can we explain to our little ones our penchant for organic food? Simply by playing!
Question #1:
An organic fruit or vegetable is a food that has not received:
a) sun during its cultivation
b) chemicals (to remove weeds or prevent diseases on the plant, for example)
c) rain to help it grow
Question #2
How do you know if a product is organic, truly organic?
a) Because the package is green, with nature drawings like leaves or a tree
b) Because on the packaging there is a European label represented by a leaf made up of small stars, or the French label "AB". This design proves that it is indeed organic food that is used inside.
c) Because someone told you and you think they are right
Question #3
A farmer who decides to grow his carrots organically will surely use:
a) Fewer products and more people to help (removing weeds by hand for example)
b) More products and fewer people to help it
c) More products and more people to help him
Question No. 4
What does organic farming respect:
a) Parity (i.e. there are as many men as women working on the farm)
b) Snack time (the farmer never skips his 4 p.m. snack!)
c) The rhythm of the seasons and biodiversity (i.e. the fact that there are many insects, animals and plants around his field)
Question No. 5
Why do we often hear that organic fruits and vegetables taste better than non-organic ones?
a) Because the farmer adds salt (to vegetables) and sugar (to fruits) during cultivation
b) Because they are given time to ripen, the soil they grow in is rich in nutrients, and there is less water in it, so it is less bland
c) Because we speak to them nicely
