If the foods are truly organic, they are the best. However, not everyone's definition of organic is the same. Some believe using hybrid seeds is acceptable, but others believe truly organic food should start with heirloom or open-pollinated seeds that have not been hybridized. Some believe the use of synthetic pesticides should be allowed under certain conditions, while others believe if synthetic pesticides are used at all, the food is no longer organic. Some believe the use of techniques, such as adding compost, that builds up soil and adds nutrients naturally is an important part of growing organically. Others don't. While GMOs are supposedly not allowed in organic foods, there may be small amounts of GMOs in organic foods caused by cross pollination of GMO crops, and if hybrid seeds are used, they may have been hybridized using radiation that produces mutations. So, though it is not widely known, there are many variants to growing organically that affect whether foods labeled "organic" are significantly better than other foods, though one plus to organic foods is that they do not contain harmful additives and preservatives that non-organic foods often contain.
