Frequently Asked Questions
What are the top organic products?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. The Organic Food Index was created to address this. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This is due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
What are my top priorities when buying organic products
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. 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.
Which organic vegetables are best?
Organic vegetables are the highest quality and healthiest food source. They are considered the healthiest food on Earth.
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides and chemical fertilizers. These chemicals pose grave risks for our health and the environment.
Organic produce contains more nutrients, vitamins and minerals. This makes them more healthy because organic produce absorbs nutrients better.
Organic vegetables not only taste great, but are safe to consume. Organic produce does not have side effects.
You can find organic fruits and veggies at any grocery store. Organic produce can be found at any grocery store as long as it is produced in accordance with USDA guidelines. This means that they must meet the standards established by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Organic foods are better for us.
The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.

How To
Are there any disadvantages to purchasing organic products
The benefits of organic food are well known. There are however some downsides. These include higher consumer costs, lower quality standards and fewer options.
It is okay to want more variety when shopping for groceries. However, we have been taught to expect poor quality food. That's why you'll find most grocery stores stocked with identical prepackaged products.
Organic food is popular because it is healthier and tastes better. How do you convince people to spend a little more for organic food?

Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food has more nutrients, and is free of pesticides and other antibiotics. Organic food is healthier for you and your environment because it doesn't contain synthetic fertilizers or herbicides.
