Organic food contains no preservatives or added chemicals. However, a food can be grown organically and then processed; for example, milk can be pasteurized. Processed is sometimes used as the opposite of organic, but it really means that a food has been changed from its natural form.

There is a least some evidence that the nutrients in organic foods are greater than in their non-organic counterparts.
