What are organic foods?

Organic farming practices preserve soil quality and help conserve water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. 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. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
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.
Are organic foods better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. Organic apples had eight times less pesticides than nonorganic apples. However, organic strawberries had four times the amount of pesticides as their conventional counterparts.
Research has also suggested that organic food may reduce mercury and lead exposure. 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 that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to 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.
What are the most popular organic products?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products will be the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This is due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

How To
How to Buy Organic Meat Even on a Limited 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 will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
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 are my top tips for keeping food costs down and still enjoying the many benefits of organic meat.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. If you're lucky enough to live near one of these stores, you can often get deals on large quantities of meat (up to 50 pounds). You won't have to waste meat. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
- Shopping online is easy - There are tons of websites that sell meat at reduced prices. Amazon offers Prime Pantry weekly deals, including free shipping for orders above $35 They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. You can easily browse their website to see what is available at different times.
- Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. They also know what their animals ate and drink so they can tell exactly what is inside.
- You should look for the leanest cuts of meat. Lean meat is typically cheaper to cook than fatty. So, look for the leanest cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts have high protein and low fat.
- Try new recipes. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. You may be amazed at the variety of delicious dishes that you can make with fresh tomatoes, onions garlic, olive oil and spices.
- Remaining meat and poultry can be used for sandwiches, salads or soups. Leftover meat is perfect for making quick lunches or dinners.
So there you go! These are my top tips for how to get organic meat on a tight budget. Are you able to offer any additional tips? What other tips do you have for me?
