Why is organic food important?

Organic produce is vital for our health. It is the best option to ensure that we eat nutritious food. It's better for us and more sustainable because it doesn’t depend on pesticides or fertilizers.

Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. This means fewer environmental pollutants, making it safer for humans and animals. When you choose organic food, both you and the earth are protected.

The benefits of organic food go beyond our health, though. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us feel. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? It means that organic fruits, vegetables and other foods are fresher tasting, more vibrant and last longer.

It's because organic is healthy for you and the planet. Because organic is healthier for you as well as for the world.

How To

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.

The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.

Most grocery shops now carry organic options. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
