RE: Is Chinese Food Low Quality? Organic Farming in China
You are very right that the general perspective is that anything that comes from China is inferior in quality. In my own opinion to support yours, i believe there has been alot of good changes now.
High quality things now come out of China. I really love the green house organic strawberry farm. Does it tastes different from conventional ones?
China is changing really fast. They have the resources to come up with high quality products because the market is there.
It does much sweeter than conventional ones. Strawberries often times have more pesticides than any other fruit or vegetable. The thing is, a strawberry can't be peeled like an orange; where most of the pesticides remain. So eating organic strawberries is really important. I find that the conventional ones don't have as much flavour or have a metallic taste to them. This is what I remember with strawberries I ate in Canada; very little flavour.
I can't provide scientific evidence, but the organic tomatoes we grow in Snowdonia have way more flavour than anything I can buy in the shops. If only consumers could see pesticides with their eyes the market would be completely different. Looks are more important that health and taste it seems.
Yes, usually organic tastes better. I remember comparing organic/conventional blueberries in Canada and remember that the conventional ones tasted metallic. The organic ones had more flavour even though they were smaller.
Now i get itclearly, that means it migght be a good business idea if someone with enough capital can replicate samein the west. Over time i am optimistic people there will appreciate it. Thank you for explaining better.
on the other hand, there are still lots of things that are not great, like pickled ginger from China is still not very good and I avoid it at all cost.
I guess it also depends what it is.
