Not everyone who likes to eat organic foods has the chance to do so on a daily basis. Most people will have to settle for the more mediocre fare of the same foods they have been eating for most of their lives. Other more fortunate people however, are able to enjoy organic foods on a more regular basis, and some of these people have also been blessed with the ability to bake, which gives rise (excuse the pun!) to organic breads.
Now f you’re wondering what on earth organic breads are, and whether they really do taste as if they were fresh sprung from the ground along with the carrots and the potatoes, there’s only one thing that I have to say, Ha! Organic breads don’t taste any different from your normal average everyday breads. In fact more than tasting different, people who eat organic breads and organic foods in general believe that they taste better to those of the normal non-organic, pesticide filled food varieties!
This is of course a hotly debated topic, because how can any one person truly accept what the taste buds of someone else are saying? They have to taste it for themselves and if they’re trying to compare the tastes of organically grown produce with that of conventionally grown produce there’s always bound to be some differences.
That aside however, organic breads taste the same as normal breads and they are made in the same manner as normal breads. The main difference lies in the ingredients used to make the organic breads. Only organic flour, butter etc would be used when making organic breads. Essentially the recipe stays the same, it’s only the ingredients, or rather the manner in which the ingredients were produced, that is changed.
“Organic” for those of you who are unaware of it, is a term, or a definition of a farming process which shuns conventional methods of farming. Things such as chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are put away in favor of natural pesticides and fertilization methods. More over, genetically plant organisms are also rejected in the organic farming method. And in organic animal farming you will find that use of steroids and antibiotics is banned, and the animals receive only organic foods for themselves.
Therefore when someone tells you that they regularly bake organic breads, don’t stare at them as if they had just grown two heads. All they have done is to continue on with their normal baking routines substituting organic products where necessary to make the organic breads.
On the other hand, if the person has never lifted a single finger in the kitchen before this, and they calmly announce that they have baked a batch of organic breads, you might do well to stare and be suspicious. Oh, and reach for the roll of antacids as well!
It’s healthy, it’s disgusting, and it might possibly be the hardest task on earth to get your kids to chow down on a snack bar made from organic foods. How easy is it to wean your children away from their potato chips, candy bars and chocolate coated everything’s? It’s a Herculean task and one that doesn’t become any easier when they see the sometimes disgusting organic bar food snack.
The last thing that you want your child to do is to ingest toxins and pesticides from non-organic bars, but unless you find a way to make the organic bar food snacks more palatable to their young stomachs, you will find that you have a rebellion on your hands, especially if you went and threw off all of their most favored junk foods!
This is almost definitely the wrong tack to with junk- and fast-food addicted children. The first step that you need to take is to introduce these foods slowly to their palates. You might be worried about the non-organic foods they’re consuming now, but remember that habits of a lifetime cannot be changed in the blink of an eye.
In essence you will need to retrain your children to eat healthy and this includes eating healthy snacks such as organic bar food snacks among other things. Take it in baby steps and proceed slowly and with caution. The first thing you need to do when going organic is to taste the snacks that you’re going to foist on your children.
If it looks green and disgusting even to your eyes, then it will almost definitely gain a negative response from your kids. If it looks marginally pleasing to the eye, and the ingredients in it sounds interesting, you will first of all want to have a sample go at it.
Remember that your adult palate might be different from your child’s palate so tread cautiously here. What you might like in the way of organic bar food and snacks, might not appeal to your kids but then again you might have hit the taste bud jackpot of all time and found the best junk food substitute for your kids.
And if you’re into health bar foods you might find an organic bar food that might suit your palate at the same time. Of course this is not everyone’s cup of tea, but by experimenting a little you might be able to find the perfect snack not only for your kids but also for yourself as well!
