What are my top priorities when buying organic products
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

How To
How to buy organic meat even on a tight budget
In this post, I'll share tips and tricks on buying organic meat without breaking your bank account.
You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. You will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
To eat well, you don't have to spend a lot. Sometimes it takes creativity to save money and eat well. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.
- Buy bulk food at wholesale clubs. Sams Club and Costco both offer great options for buying bulk foods like pork chops and chicken breasts. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. This ensures that meat is not wasted. You can also freeze the meat if you buy it bulk.
- Look online to save money on meat. Amazon offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal with free shipping on orders above $35. You can get discounts on ground beef, beef roasts, lamb steaks and pork loins. It's simple to visit their website to view the latest offerings at different times.
- Find a local farmer - Local farmers usually charge less than big box retailers because they do not pay considerable fees to stock their shelves. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
- You should look for the leanest cuts of meat. Lean meat is typically cheaper to cook than fatty. The leanest cuts are therefore preferred. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are low in fat and high-protein.
- You don't have to be afraid to try new recipes. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. It's possible to create delicious meals with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic using olive oil, spices, and garlic.
- Remaining meat and poultry can be used for sandwiches, salads or soups. Remaining meat can be used for quick lunches or dinners.
