Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic fruits?

Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. They are also richer in nutrients like vitamins C, E, K, and omega-3 fat acids. These ingredients are good for our bodies as well as the planet.

Organic foods are produced using sustainable agricultural practices that protect soil quality and promote biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.

Many organic products are not associated with produce. They include dairy and meat, poultry, eggs baked goods, pet food, household cleaning supplies, and personal care products.

The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. They may however use approved natural pest management methods like crop rotation or cover cropping as well as organic feeds.

The farmer must also follow the guidelines for how much fertilizer and insecticide he uses throughout the growing season. He must also rotate his fields among different crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.

All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". But, not all farms label their produce as 100% organic. It would confuse consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "

How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:

USDA Organic Certified- This product has been certified organic by the USDA.

Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.

Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.

These labels indicate that the product meets specific criteria, which include:

• No pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
• No genetically modified organisms
• Animals are never given antibiotics
• No hormones are ever given to the animal
• No growth-promoting drug
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• There's no sewage waste sludge
• GMOs prohibited
• Never was an antibiotic given
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drug
• No feed-additives

What are the health benefits of organic foods?

Even though organic foods might not be for everyone, there are some health benefits. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.

Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.

Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.

Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.

While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.

People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. Prices will vary depending where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.

If you take a look at the cost of a basket containing both types of fruits, you will see that organic is less expensive.

So should you go organic?

It all depends on who you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.

Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.

Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.

What is organic meat?

Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.

Organic meats are healthier for our environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers are less likely to use toxic chemicals to kill birds or insects. This helps protect wildlife.

You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Buying local helps keep more money circulating within the community rather than going out of state. Local businesses often pass on savings to customers shopping locally. Local businesses are more likely to keep jobs here than export them abroad.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. This helps reduce pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
