Organic Food

Uncooked organic food contains organism such as bacteria, virus.

For about half the time human beings have existed on earth they ate only uncooked food. About 500,000 years ago fire was controlled and could be used to heat and preserve foods. Most food crops are produced during a relatively short growing season, and the abundant, often highly perishable, harvests must be preserved for consumption during the long non growing season. The use of various preservation methods has augmented the food supply and, obviously, the nutrients available to a given population group.
