i love organic

why organic? kenapa memilih makanan organic sungguhpon i bukan pemakan organ?? sebab organ dan organic tiada persamaan.

organ
pedal, hati, limpa, hempedu juga?? semua tu i tak makan kecuali pedal. hehe x boleh blah rasa kenyal nya. nak nak lagi kalau digoreng dan makan panas-panas. perghh dengan nasik kosong pon jadi! tapi itu kalau pedal la. kalau hati, kau buat masak butter pon ku tak hingin nak jamah. sebab? errr sebab daku belajar biochemistry dan salah satu matapelajaran yang membosankan adalah liver metabolism [metabolisma hati] so i tahu apa isi dalam tisu hati. harap maaf no offense kepada penggemar hati.

tapi kita bukan nak cerita pasal organ.

What is organic food: How is it produced?

The process in most cases starts with organically grown crops so a quick explanation:
Organic farming produces crops and rears cattle without the use of chemicals and artificial additives.
It is farming the natural way and concentrates on producing a fertile soil.
Animals reared on organic farms are housed properly they have room to move about and behave like animals.
They are fed healthy food sources and not those laden with drugs and other chemicals.
So in summary the answer to what is organic food is.…crops and animals produced and fed with natural food and without the use of chemical additives.



What is organic food: How can it benefit me?
The most common benefit is that of taste. The example I always remember is that of comparing conventionally grown sweetcorn to the organically produced version.

It seems the taste has been leeched out of conventional sweetcorn, along with the quality of its nutrients presumably.
Besides the obvious benefit of taste there are also environmental aspects such as fewer chemicals in the soil leading to less erosion of the countryside and pollution of our rivers with nitrates.
Besides the pleasurable benefits to your senses there are also environmental reasons to finding out what is organic food. There are also benefits to the animals and people who live and work on the farms.

Pest reducing insects are encouraged back to farms and help to protect crops.
Worms and other micro-organisms thrive in the naturally fertilized soil that can be otherwise sterile on intensive, chemically enhanced farms.
I hope that we have answered your question as to what is organic food and that you are encouraged to try some for yourself.

sekarang memang love into organic but we take baby steps. bukan semua isi peti sejuk di rumah adalah organic. tapi i mulakan dengan food anak kesayangan dulu. tapi bagaimanapon susu nya tak amik yang organic, and tak plan pon nak amik yang organic. sebab; dia masih dimurahkan rezeki oleh Tuhan Maha Pemurah, diberi peluang menyusu susu terbaik di alam semesta; susu ibu. walaupon non-exclusively but mostly. syukurlah itupon sampai sekarang supply masih tidak tergugat. cuma kerajinan mengepam di office yang makin merosot. syaitan apa merasuk haku supaya tidak menunaikan hak anak. nyah kau!



berbalik kepada organic food. selain dari buat homemade [yes, she loves it] perlu jugak instant punya untuk digunakan time balik kampung dan time rush tak sempat buat bubur nasik etc. bab balik kampung ni i memang fail bab masuk dapur orang cari bahan, memang x jumpa lah. kalaupon dapur rumah mak sendiri yang selalu masuk pon x jumpa bawang, inikan pulak rumah opah yang balik sekali sekala. okay i memag pelupa, i admit it. bab rushing pepagi tu biasalah... dulu kerja private suka suki je nak masuk pukul berapa. sekarang nak kena punch you. nasib baik punch card sendiri validate je, kalau tidak dah lama dah kena tindakan tatatertib nih hahaha.


and welcome organic food;


oat and multi grain cereal. 
kononnye siap dengan DHA, prebiotic, probiotic, choline, mineral fortified yada yada.
special made for baby. got another one; brown rice; tapi tak beli coz brown rice kat rumah still berbaki lagi.


makan mix with avocado. she likes it! licin bowl~


later after brown rice dia habis, boleh beli the organic ones punya. alhamdulillah sekarang selera dia bertambah baik. now di rumah nanny she will have organic cereal with [apa-apa] puree, then balik rumah will pekena homemade bubur nasi. perut melayu kan. kena jugak ajar makanan ruji melayu. hehe mesti mau ajar cari nasik jugak at least once a day.

sekarang chika dalam transition phase nak menukar susu dia. from fonterra to abbott. i mean, from anmum to similac. actually i nak opt for pediasure but after do some study and research, tak jadi. pediasure is more suitable for picky eaters and 2y/o toddlers and above sahaja bilamana susu bukan lagi makanan [hakikatnya minuman lah kan] utama as pediasure is more like supplement. i pon ada buat nutritional comparison before choosing any tapi roughly je la. pulak tu ada flavour while me belum mahu bagi chika one yang ada flavour-flavour nih. because ye lah she still breastfeed. kang sia-sia je stok susu dalam freezer tu semuanya dah xmo sebab x sedap due to no flavour.


i dont mind if similac is a bit pricey [sebab satu tin boleh tahan 2bulan setengah yo! - she is more on breastmilk] tapi hubby's concern is what matters. dia first sekali argue tentang kandungan gula tambahan. maklumlah anmum memang satu malaysia tahu [sebab iklan] is no added sugar. tapi setelah mencampur tolak darab bahagi, hopefully i do a right choice in this matter. mama pon pernah pesan tak payah tukar susu anak selagi dia tak tunjuk apa-apa masalah. tapi i tukar jugak sebab kesian nampak macam dah susut since demam and continuoes vomitting sejak sebulan kebelakangan ni. and nope, i dont blame the formula pon. cuma i tukar atas alasan nak dia gain a bit faster to catch up what she lost. 


some may ask kenapa i choose anmum at first place? my answer; bukan i yang choose tapi sebab dah dapat free 5 kotak masa bersalin di hospital razif tempoh hari, balun saja la. then teruskan with that brand, since chika have no problem with it. and now, why not opt for organic? my answer; sebab i [and we all from healthcare-related field] believe in abbott as a nutrition and health-care provider.

huhu apapon semua ibu mahu yang terbaik untuk anaknya kan.


habis. babai.
