Frequently Asked Questions

What are the health benefits of organic foods?

Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.

Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. Organic produce is produced without the use of harmful chemicals which could affect human health.

There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.

Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.

While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.

Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.

But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.

Do you really need to buy organic?

It all depends upon who you are. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.

However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer than conventional food because they don't contain chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.

What's the difference?

Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.

The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. Natural does not always mean organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.

Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.

Why should I go organic?

The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. When buying food, you must make wise choices.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient is not listed, it can 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 the top organic products?

Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.

They are also generally more expensive. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.

According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. 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.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.

In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 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. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

Is organic meat better?

You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.

Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.

But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.

Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

Deals are another way to cut costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.

Statistics

• According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (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)
• 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)
• Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

How to buy organic meat even on a tight budget

In this article, I will share my tips and tricks for buying organic meat without having to break the bank.

Here are some tips to help you find low-cost organic meats. Also, how much per pound they cost. Learn how to get maximum value from the products you buy.

For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes you need to be creative in order to save money and still eat healthy. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.

1. Wholesale clubs - Sams Club, Costco, and Sams Club offer great deals on bulk foods like chicken breasts. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. You won't have to waste meat. Also, if you buy in bulk, it can be frozen so it lasts for longer.
2. You can shop online for meat at great prices. Amazon, for example, offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal that includes free shipping on orders greater than $35 They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
3. Local farmers will usually be cheaper than big-box retailers since they don't pay large fees to stock their shelves. They also know what their animals ate and drink so they can tell exactly what is inside.
4. Look out for cuts that are the leanest. It's generally less expensive to cook lean meat than fatty. You should always look for the best cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts have high protein and low fat.
5. Try new recipes. Cooking with new ingredients is one of the best ways to cut your grocery bills. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
6. Remaining meat and poultry can be used for sandwiches, salads or soups. Leftover meat is perfect for making quick lunches or dinners.
