The organic approach to gardening will not deliver healthier or more tasty produce, according to a leading UK consumer watchdog.
The controversial study from Which? Gardening also claims that produce grown using modern artificial methods may well be better for you.
The claims come after a two-year study which found that non-organic broccoli had significantly higher levels of antioxidants than organically grown samples.
The research also found that non-organic potatoes contained more Vitamin C than the organic crop, and expert tasters found that non-organically grown tomatoes had a stronger flavour than the organic samples.
