Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic fruits?
Organic food does not contain pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
Organic foods are produced using sustainable agricultural practices that protect soil quality and promote biological diversity. They are free from harmful chemicals, radiation, and sewage sludge.
Many organic products are not associated with produce. They include dairy and meat, poultry, eggs baked goods, pet food, household cleaning supplies, and personal care products.
The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. To grow these foods, farmers cannot use non-organic (or conventional) methods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.
Further, the farmer must be careful about the amount of pesticide and fertilizer he uses in the growing season. Farmers cannot use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial growth hormones, synthetic insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers.
All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". Some farms don't label their products 100% organic, as it could confuse consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "
Are organic foods better?
According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.
What are the benefits of organic farming?
Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. The farmers don't have to worry about pesticides causing harm to their crops and animals.
Organic farming also allows for more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers promote healthy plants and decrease the amount of chemicals used.
Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting techniques to recycle nutrients back into the soil. This reduces pollution and preserves valuable resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is due to the fact that organic farming uses much less water during growth season.
Organic production methods mean farmers can get higher prices. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.
What's the difference?
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, sewage effluent, radiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
Is organic meat more nutritious?
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow, and it requires more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. Organics often come with discounts.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. 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 organic beauty items?
Organic Beauty Products contain natural ingredients without artificial chemicals, such as parabens and phenoxyethanol. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.
Organic beauty products are not tested on animals and contain no genetically modified organisms.
The USDA defines organic as "a system for production that fosters recycling of resources". It has been used over the years to describe foods grown without pesticides.
There has been a rise in demand for ecofriendly beauty products over the years due to the negative effects of chemical chemicals on our skin.
These include allergies, cancer, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, early aging, and skin irritation.
Organic beauty companies work to create safe and healthy products for their customers while also protecting the environment.

How To
What happens to your body if you switch to organic products
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
