Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

Does organic mean that it is not sprayed with pesticides?

Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.

Organic produce also contains more nutrients than conventionally produced foods because it contains no harmful additives.

The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.

These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.

Organic farming methods are also beneficial for wildlife and natural habitats.

If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.

The same applies to our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.

Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.

But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are many safe ways to grow them.

Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques can prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and help reduce the risk of it happening again.

They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.

In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. GMOs, artificial growth hormones, synthetic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are not allowed in the fields of farmers.

Produces labelled as 100% organic meet all requirements. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "
