Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic meat better?
If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.
There are many sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.
Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on 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 they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. 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. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. We feel better when our food is good.
The same applies to our food. Organics are traceable back to the source and provenance of their products. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.
But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.
Sometimes, organic farming is called sustainable agriculture. It is a less resource-intensive alternative to conventional farming, but still provides enough nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. The USDA National Organic Program certifies the one while the independent certifying agency certifies the other. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.
USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
What are organic products good for skin?
Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.
Organic skincare products are free from artificial colours, fragrances and preservatives.
They are designed to promote healthy skin, prevent premature wrinkles, heal injuries after they happen, and support overall wellbeing.

What are the top organic products?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.
They are also generally more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Organic food is definitely on the rise, but it still seems expensive for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

How To
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
Natural refers to the way food was grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, 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. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
