What do you mean by natural food preservatives? Why are they good compared to chemical food preservatives?

Question

Accepted Answer

Natural food preservatives come from organic matter such as plants, animals, fungi, and algae (e.g. mugwort, neem oil, lemon concentrate). They are considered better than chemical preservatives because they do not cause the health problems (skin irritation, respiratory issues) that overused chemical preservatives can cause, and they are more environmentally friendly.
