natural foods come straight from the ground basically and have lots of vitamins and minerals and stuff needed for survival while processed foods lose a lot of the stuff we need for survival and have a lot of added chemicals. edited by: Josiah Siddle :)
What's the difference between food preservatives and processed food.
natural has no added chemicals, colours etc.. artificial has, like sweetners, salts, colours etc..
The appearance between fresh food and processed foods are usually different, but it would really depend on the food. Processed food is usually cooked longer, so may be softer, whereas fresh food may be firmer. There could also be a difference in color, either could be a little darker or a little lighter.
YES ( WAY BETTER) YES ( WAY BETTER)
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.
Not much difference - Halal is practiced by Muslims, and Kosher is practiced by Jews. Neither eat pork, and each have requirements on how their meat is slaughtered and processed.
No. Flies don't recognise margarine as food, because it is an industrially-processed food, not natural food.
Processed food is made from fresh (or other processed) food. e.g. Peanut butter is processed food made from fresh peanuts. Reese's peanut butter cups (a processed food) are made from chocolate and peanut butter.
Whole foods, not to be confused with the store of the same name, are foods which are as close to their natural state as possible. "Regular" foods may be processed and thus the derived food is not similar to its original state. For example, an apple picked from a tree is a whole food, while applesauce is not.
A natural organic food diet is where a person goes on a diet strictly eating food that is not processed and fresh from nature. It is good for your health and cheaper!
Toast - to thoroughly warm and brown a food that has already been cooked or processed, using dry heat.Roast - to throughly cook uncooked food using dry heat.
Yes and no. Unprocessed foods are natural foods such as vegetables, grains, meats and fish. These are often consumed without mechanically, or chemically processing before reaching your kitchen. However, minimally processed foods, such as flour, cocoa, corn, butchered meats and so on are still natural. Highly processed foods such as cooking oils, boxed cereals, American cheese [not real cheese], frozen dinners, ...etc. obviously are not "natural" foods, but processed either chemically or mechanically. {cooking is a mechanical processing}. So processing does not necessarily determine if a food is "natural" but the more processing done the less natural a food may be. Organic foods and genetically engineered foods are two other categories which do not necessarily determine how "natural" a food might be. Genetically modified organisms might be labelled as "natural" just as organically grown foods can be processed such that they are no longer "natural". [for instance: organic American cheese] Note: Monosodium Glutamate [msg] is a highly processed salt substitute which is often labelled as a "natural flavoring". The label "natural" on food products can be, and is, applied liberally to both unprocessed and processed foods.
