Do organic foods offer health benefits?
Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Plus, because organic farms aren't treated with toxic chemicals, these farms typically require less energy and fuel.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
Do you want to go organic?
It all depends upon who you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.
What are the most loved organic products?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.
Organic products will be the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.

How To
5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic food is grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During the course of its growth cycle, the natural environment of the food is protected from contamination. It does not contain artificial preservatives or additives. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also produced in conditions that preserve their nutritional value and freshness over longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps reduce pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
- 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.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. These harmful substances can be avoided by sticking to whole foods like meat, eggs, fish and nuts as well as seeds, beans, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
