Compare organic to non-organic carrots. Double blind yourself all you want, hands down organic carrots (things labeled as) are x10 better than the woody sticks they are compared to.

That has more to do with the cultivar than the method of growth.

Standard supermarket vegetables are bred to withstand shipping and handling, not for taste.
