Frequently Asked Questions

Which are the best organic vegetables?

Organic vegetables are the best and most nutritious food source. They are the healthiest of all foods.

Organic produce is produced without pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals pose severe risks to our health and environment.

Organic produce contains more nutrients, vitamins and minerals. This makes them more healthy because organic produce absorbs nutrients better.

Organic vegetables are delicious and safe to eat. Organic produce is free from known side effects.

Any grocery store can sell organic fruits and vegetables. Organic produce can be found at any grocery store as long as it is produced in accordance with USDA guidelines. This means that they must meet the standards established by the United States Department of Agriculture.

What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?

Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.

When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'

Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. 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 only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.

Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.

How do I know if my produce is organic?

These are the labels you should look for to ensure you are purchasing organic produce

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

Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.

Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.

These labels indicate that the product meets specific criteria, which include:

• No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers

What are organic fruits and vegetables?

Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.

Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are free from harmful chemicals, radiation, and sewage sludge.

Many organic products are not associated with produce. They include dairy and meat, poultry, eggs baked goods, pet food, household cleaning supplies, and personal care products.

"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. This means that farmers can't use non-organic methods of growing these foods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.

Additionally, the farmer must adhere to guidelines concerning the amount of fertilizer and pesticide that he uses during the growing seasons and how he rotates his fields among various crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.

The requirements for organic fruits and vegetables are met if they are labeled 100 percent organic. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "

Why should organic be my first choice?

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:

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

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

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.

What are the top organic products?

Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. 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, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.

However, they are also more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.

The results showed that organic food is increasing in popularity. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.

The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% 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.

That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.

This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.

Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

Is organic the same as pesticide-free?

Organic food is free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This means that organic food is often free of 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 include soil preparation, crop rotating, pest control and water conservation.

Organic farming also promotes healthy ecosystems which are beneficial to wildlife and natural habitats.

Statistics

• 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)
• Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)
• 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)

How To

What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. 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 is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

Most grocery stores offer organic options. 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. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.

These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
