Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic food?
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops are allowed to grow naturally, so farmers do not use chemicals to prevent weeds or pests.
Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products are typically higher in fiber and lower in fat and calories than conventionally produced ones.
What are the benefits of organic fruits?
Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They are also richer in nutrients like vitamins C, E, K, and omega-3 fat acids. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
Organic foods are produced with sustainable farming practices that promote soil quality and biological diversity. They are free from harmful chemicals, radiation, and sewage sludge.
Although organics are most commonly associated with produce, organics can also be found in dairy, meats, poultry, eggs and baked goods.
The USDA defines "organic" as that crops being raised according to strict rules set forth by federal government standards. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.
The farmer must also follow the guidelines for how much fertilizer and insecticide he uses throughout the growing season. He must also rotate his fields among different crops. Farmers cannot use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial growth hormones, synthetic insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers.
Vegetables and fruits labeled as "100% organic" fulfill all of the 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." "
Which organic products are most in demand?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.
But they tend to be more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption 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.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
Is organic meat healthier?
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. 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.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
Buy local to save money. Locally grown produce helps to keep the prices down because farmers are given incentives to grow healthy crops.
Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Organics often come with discounts.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Due to the cost of raising livestock, meat production can be expensive.
Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.
Why should you buy organic?
Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
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. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.

You don't need to spend a lot of money to eat healthily. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here's my list of ways to keep your food costs down while enjoying organic meat's benefits.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. This way, you won't waste any meat. It's also possible to freeze meat purchased in bulk so that it lasts longer.

Amazon, for example, offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal that includes free shipping on orders greater than $35 There are also discounts on lamb steaks (lamb steaks), ground beef, pork loins, and beef roasts. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
- Local farmers will usually be cheaper than big-box retailers since they don't pay large fees to stock their shelves. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
- You should look for the leanest cuts of meat. Lean meat is typically cheaper to cook than fatty. The leanest cuts are therefore preferred. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are very low in fat and high in protein.
- Try new recipes. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
