Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic fruits?

Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. These ingredients are good for our bodies as well as the planet.

Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are free from harmful chemicals, radiation, and 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 that are grown according to federal standards. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. However, they can use approved natural methods to control pests, like crop rotation and cover crops, or animal feed made of organic materials.

Additionally, the farmer must adhere to guidelines concerning the amount of fertilizer and pesticide that he uses during the growing seasons and how he rotates his fields among various crops. Farmers cannot use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial growth hormones, synthetic insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers.

Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. But some farms do not label their products as 100% organic because it would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "

Organic food producers create products that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

Organic food production occurs on farms that have their crops grown naturally. This includes soil preparation, pest control, and crop rotation.

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

How to afford Organic Meat even when on a Budget

Here are some tips and tricks that will help you save money on organic meat.

You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. You'll learn how to get the best from what you buy.

To eat well, you don't have to spend a lot. Sometimes you need to be creative in order to save money and still eat healthy. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.

1. Wholesale clubs - Sams Club and Costco are great places for bulk food like chicken breasts or pork chops. You may be able to get large quantities of meat for as low as 50 pounds if your home is near one of these stores. This way, you won't waste any meat. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
2. Shopping online is easy - There are tons of websites that sell meat at reduced prices. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. You can get discounts on ground beef, beef roasts, lamb steaks and pork loins. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
3. Find a local farmer - Local farmers usually charge less than big box retailers because they do not pay considerable fees to stock their shelves. Because they know exactly the diets and drinks of their animals, local farmers can provide a better understanding of what's inside.
4. Look out for cuts that are the leanest. It's generally less expensive to cook lean meat than fatty. The leanest cuts are therefore preferred. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are high in protein and low in fat.
5. Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. Cooking with new ingredients is one of the best ways to cut your grocery bills. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
