Frequently Asked Questions

What are my top priorities when buying organic products

USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.

When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.

Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.

Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

What is organic food?

Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. There are no growth hormones used and animal testing is not performed. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.

Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.

What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?

Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices are good for soil health, water quality, animal welfare, and the environment.

Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

How To

What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?

Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was made from natural materials and is free of 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 usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.

Most grocery stores now carry organic meats and poultry. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.

These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
