Frequently Asked Questions
Organic foods are better for us.
According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.
Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.
Because organic produce does not contain harmful additives it has more nutrients that conventionally produced foods.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.
These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.
In addition, organic farming methods promote healthy ecosystems, which benefit wildlife and natural habitats.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are healthier for our environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does 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.

What you should know about organic food

It must not contain any artificial colours, flavour enhancers, flavor enhancers, and preservatives. It must not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
There are many factors that consumers choose organic produce. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. But, non-organic products can be a good choice because there are ethical concerns over the treatment and welfare of farm workers.
Organic foods are usually more expensive than conventional ones, although prices vary depending on countries and regions. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods.
