gilbertI'm not sure if anyone was really laboring under the misconception that organic vegetables contained more vitamins and minerals than conventionally-grown ones. If you were, though, you should know that it is a misconception. A recent Dutch study evaluated 15 different vegetables, including broccoli, cucumbers, and tomatoes, and found that there was no difference in the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in organic produce.
