In the developed civilized countries the goods offered by modern grocery stores can be classified not only by their energy value, the price and the producer, but also by how they were received. Unlike the European countries where accurate information of this sort is provided to the buyer, in Russia to define ecological purity of products quite not easy.
The vegetables and fruit which are on counters of shops of many European countries are subdivided into the products created by means of genetic engineering, which are grown up with use of fertilizers or made on chemical ingredients and also into eco-friendly products. Receiving quality products from the last group – more difficult process in connection with bad ecology of the environment.
Cultivation and production of eco-friendly products is strictly controlled by special services, they are recognized those proceeding from the agreement which was signed in 1991 in Europe. This document describes standards of cultivation of eco-friendly agricultural products.
Organic food are considered as those only in case of use at their cultivation of the corresponding fertilizers which don't contain harmful chemicals. Besides, such products have safe packing, and at their production the technologies which aren't breaking ecological qualities of the final product are used. For definition of ecological purity of products it is enough to look at their packing. The products placed in plastic containers and plastic bags are at once excluded from this list. "Clean" products most often are on sale in a glass or metal container. However cases when unfair producers give the gene-modified or containing nitrates products under the guise of ecologically safe are frequent. The price of them is higher, as well as on the goods which aren't containing fertilizers and being natural on the origin. Owing to what the buyer gets them with absolute confidence that nothing threatens his health. Unfortunately, for identification of the GMO products no devices of individual use are created yet. But you can protect yourself from acquisition of the vegetables and fruit containing the increased amount of nitrates. For these purposes it is possible to buy the special electronic device – a nitratomer. It has the small sizes, easily is located in a pocket, and it can be taken on the market or in shop. The device makes measurements of a dose of nitrates and compares the obtained data with standards of their maximum-permissible concentration (MPC). If instrument readings exceed the limit of maximum allowable concentration, it is better to refuse purchase of such products. Upon purchase of vegetables and fruit you shouldn't chase fruits with a perfect form and lack of traces on them from garden wreckers. On the contrary, exactly not the most ideal presentation says that fruits, most likely, aren't gene-modified, at their cultivation the minimum quantity of chemical fertilizers was used. Existence of wormholes also testifies in favor of ecological purity of the offered products. You don't seek to buy early vegetables, berries and fruit as for their fast maturing high doses of various chemicals are often used. Especially it is relevant for early watermelons - as a rule, they contain the increased amount of nitrates, quite often causing food poisonings. Unfortunately, modern realities are that that it is very difficult to buy only one eco-friendly and safe products. The thing is that their range isn't so big completely to provide a food allowance of the person, besides volumes of their production are also limited. The popular belief that products from the market it is more qualitative and safer than supermarkets products is irrelevant for a long time. The main part of the agricultural products sold in the markets is delivered by the same producers, as realized in large retail chain stores, at the same time the prices of it can be much higher. In this case it will be more correct to choose several producers as whose products you are sure and to try to buy their goods. Many companies in detail describe process of production on the websites that helps to make a conscious choice.
