Some reports said the content, nutritional value of organic food compare to non-organic food doesn't differ much but some said it was significantly different. It's also said that organic food contain higher vitamin C and consuming it in long-run is good for our health. Nevertheless, it's up to consumer to make their choices on consuming organic food or not as sometimes (I think) organic food has been somewhat overhyped and hence, make it expensive than the price it should cost.
