摘要

Summary Organic food has grown significantly in the last decade. The objective of this literature review is to present the motivations and perceptions of consumers of organic foods, including fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables, and to examine the nutritional and health qualities of organic fruits and vegetables and the health implications of their consumption. Organic foods convince consumers that they are healthier, tastier and better for the environment. However, sensory differences are not always perceived between organic and conventional fruits or vegetables, and preferences may go towards organic or conventional products. Organic fruits and vegetables are characterized by a slightly higher content of polyphenols and vitamin C, certain minerals (iron, magnesium) and lower levels of pesticide residues. On the other hand, the data on mycotoxins and allergens do not always converge towards a better quality of organic products. Clinical studies on the consumption of organic fruits and vegetables do not show positive effects on plasmatic antioxidant biomarkers, triglycerides, cholesterol or glycemia. Increased consumption of conventional fruits and vegetables significantly increases exposure to insecticides and organophosphates. Switching to greater consumption of organic foods in a Mediterranean-style diet rich in fruits and vegetables would reduce total pesticide exposure by more than 90 percent, which may explain some of the positive health outcomes associated with organic food consumption reported in observational studies. Culinary practices, including peeling and blanching, would also reduce pesticide exposure, which is highly recommended during pregnancy and infancy. Further studies are needed to provide evidence on the suggested positive effects of organic fruits and vegetables on various health targets.
