Frequently Asked Questions

Which organic vegetables are best?

Organic vegetables are the healthiest and most nutritious foods available to humans. They are the best food on earth.

Any grocery store can sell organic fruits and vegetables. They can be labeled organic if they are grown according to USDA guidelines.

Are organic foods better?

According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as 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 is generally safer than non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.

What should I look out for when buying organic products?

Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.

When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.

Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.

Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.

How do you know if your food is organic?

Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.

The same goes for 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 food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.

But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.

Many people refer to organic agriculture as sustainable agriculture. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.

Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.

They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.

Two types of organic product certification programs exist. The USDA National Organic Program certifies the one while the independent certifying agency certifies the other. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.

USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

What are the benefits of organic farming?

Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.

Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers can be used to help grow healthier plants and to reduce the amount produced chemical waste.

Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. For example, organic farming uses composting techniques to re-use nutrients in the soil. This reduces pollution and conserves valuable resources.

Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.

Organic production also means that farmers get higher prices for their products. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.

This has increased the demand for organic foods. For these reasons, organic farming is becoming increasingly popular.

How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:

USDA Organic Certified – Produced by USDA and certified as 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.

Pastured/Free range - These are animals that live outside and graze freely on grasses and herbs.

These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.

• There are no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
• No genetically altered organisms
• Animals are never given antibiotics
• Animals are not ever given hormones.
• No growth-promoting medications
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• No sewage sludge
• GMOs banned
• Never was an antibiotic given
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed-additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage sludge, if it's not a GMO
• No irradiation

What are natural beauty products?

Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.

Organic beauty products do not require animal testing and are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO).

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.

Because of the damaging effects of chemical substances on our health, there has been an increase in demand for eco friendly beauty products.

These include skin irritation, hormone imbalance, premature ageing, and cancer.

Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.

Statistics

• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
• Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)

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 are free-range and come from clean water sources. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.

Natural refers to the way food was grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as 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. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.

Most grocery stores now sell organic products. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
