Is organic food good for you?
There are two types. One is those that we grow ourselves, and the other is those that we buy from someone else. There are exceptions to these categories, but most people will answer your question yes. Organic food is healthier because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
You can find organic foods in supermarkets across North America. Most grocery stores now carry organic food, making it easier for consumers to choose organic products.
Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Organics are often grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. This means that they do not pollute the soil and water sources.
The USDA regulates organic farming practices. It requires that farmers follow strict guidelines in order to ensure organic produce is safe for consumption. There are more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.
Organic food is often less expensive than conventional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. Organic farms can charge less for their crop because they aren’t required to buy expensive chemical inputs.
In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.
Organic food is becoming a popular option to the standard American diet. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.

What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
Why is organic food important
For our health, organic produce is crucial. It's the best way to ensure we eat nutritious foods. Not only is it better for us, but it's also more environmentally friendly because it doesn't rely on pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. This results in fewer environmental pollutants and makes organic farming safer. So when you choose organic food, you're helping to protect yourself and the planet.
Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. We all know the negative effects that processed foods can have on our health. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? It means that organic fruits and vegetables taste better, last longer, and are brighter.
It's because organic is healthy for you and the planet. Organic is healthy for your health and for the environment.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. 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.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
