conventional veggies which basically have no vitamin content at all
Is this true? Veggies that are not organic have no vitamins? This doesn't make sense to me....

It doesn't make sense because it is wrong.
Over the years many tests have been done on conventional and organic foods. Generally they show that organic crops contained more vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus and less nitrates than conventional crops. Other than the small difference in vitamin C most conventionally grown fruit and vegetables have similar vitamin content to organic vegetables. The biggest difference is price.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure....didn't want to be eating non-organic veggies if I wasn't getting ANY value out of them

I haven't read all the replies, but I eat broccoli in the form of soup. Basically, it's a broccoli and sauteed shallots puree thined out with some unflavored soy milk. Once the broccoli is purred, it's very tolerable for me.
