Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of organic fruits?
Organic foods do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. Organic foods contain more nutrients like vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty oils. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.
Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are free of harmful chemicals and sewage sludge.
Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.
The USDA defines "organic" as that crops being raised according to strict rules set forth by federal government standards. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. They may however use approved natural pest management methods like crop rotation or cover cropping as well as organic feeds.
Further, the farmer must be careful about the amount of pesticide and fertilizer he uses in the growing season. GMOs, synthetic insecicides, artificial growth hormones or synthetic fertilizers can't be used by farmers.
Vegetables and fruits labeled as "100% organic" fulfill all of the requirements. Some farms don't label their products 100% organic, as it could confuse consumers. Instead, they will call their product "made using organic ingredients." "
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. The meat is safe to consume because it contains no harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are healthier for our environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Buying local helps keep more money circulating within the community rather than going out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. Organic produce is produced without the use of harmful chemicals which could affect human health.
There are also fewer additives used during processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
Do you really need to buy organic?
It all depends upon who you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
You can purchase organic food if it is delicious. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
