Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic fruit?
Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These healthy ingredients make organic food better for our bodies and the planet.
Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are free of toxic chemicals, irradiation and sewage effluent.
Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.
The USDA defines "organic" as that crops being raised according to strict rules set forth by federal government standards. 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.
In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. GMOs, synthetic insecicides, artificial growth hormones or synthetic fertilizers can't be used by farmers.
Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. However, some farms won't claim that their products are 100% organic. This would confuse the consumers. Instead, they will label their product as "made with organic ingredients. "
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.
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 is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not permitted to 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.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.
There are two types for organic products certification. The USDA National Organic Program certifies the one while the independent certifying agency certifies the other. Both require strict compliance with organic standards.
USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
Why is organic food important?
Organic produce is vital for our health. It's the best way to ensure we eat nutritious foods. 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 results in fewer environmental pollutants and makes organic farming safer. Organic food is a way to help the environment and protect yourself.
The benefits of organic food go beyond our health, though. We all know how bad processed food can make us feel. Organic fruits and vegetables aren’t subject to chemicals spray. That means that they taste fresher, look brighter and last longer too.
Because of this, organic foods are so important. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
What are the most loved organic products?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. 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 and more cost-effective for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.
According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
What is organic?
Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. It is safe to eat because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are better for the environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
Organic foods are better for us.
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. Organic apples had eight times less pesticides than nonorganic apples. However, organic strawberries had four times the amount of pesticides as their conventional counterparts.
Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. 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 traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

How To
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce has more chemicals than organic. Organic produce is healthier. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
