Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I go organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.

What are organic food products?

Organic produce is produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.

Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic products are typically higher in fiber and lower in fat and calories than conventionally produced ones.

What is inorganic food?

Organic food is grown without pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These chemicals may be harmful to your health and can also be found in non-organic foods.

Organic food can be grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides herbicides, fungicides, and other harmful substances. These chemicals can harm humans and animals.

Inorganic foods are meats, fishes, eggs, buttermilk, cheese, yogurt and honey as well as vegetables, fruits and spices.

Organic refers specifically to the method an agricultural product has been grown. Organic farming, for example, uses natural methods and soil amendments in order to grow crops. Conventional farming, however, uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must set strict guidelines for organic foods. All organic food must comply with the National Organic Program Standards. This means that it must not contain prohibited materials like antibiotics, growth hormones or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as industrial solvents. Organic food must not contain toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers or sewage sludges.

Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?

Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means organic food is free from pesticides and fertilizers.

Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.

The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.

These guidelines cover soil preparation, crop rotation and pest control. They also include water conservation and harvesting techniques.

Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.

How To

What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?

Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. 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.

The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.

Most grocery stores offer organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.

These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
