BIO QUIZ for children...

We love organic food, and to get the whole family on the same page, let's do a little teaching. But how do we explain our preference for organic food to our little ones? By playing, quite simply!

Question #1:

An organic fruit or vegetable is a food that has not undergone:

a) of sunlight during its cultivation

b) chemical products (to remove weeds or prevent plant diseases, for example)

c) rain to help it grow

Question #2

How can you tell if a product is organic, truly organic?

a) Because the package is green, with nature-themed designs like leaves or a tree

b) Because the packaging displays a European label represented by a leaf made up of small stars, or the French "AB" label. This design proves that the food used is indeed organic.

c) Because someone told you so and you think they're 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 him

c) More products and more people to help him

Question #4

What does organic farming respect?

a) Parity (that is, there are as many men as women working on the farm)

b) Snack time (the farmer never misses his 4 o'clock 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 #5

Why do we often hear that organic fruits and vegetables taste better than non-organic ones?

a) Because the farmer adds salt (to the vegetables) and sugar (to the fruit) during cultivation

b) Because they are given time to ripen, the soil in which they grow is rich in nutrients, and there is less water in it, so it is less bland

c) Because we speak to them kindly
