Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic food products?
Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops are allowed natural growth, so farmers don't use chemicals to kill pests and weeds.
Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is produced without the use of harmful chemicals which could affect human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.
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 also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.
Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.
But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.
So should you go organic?
It all depends upon who you are. If organic food doesn't appeal to you, you shouldn't bother.
You can purchase organic food if it is delicious. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Organic agriculture conserves the environment and promotes biodiversity.
What is organic?
Organic meat is organic food that has been grown naturally without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or hormones. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.
Organic meats are good for the environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
What are organic fruits?
Organic food does not contain pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are also richer in nutrients like vitamins C, E, K, and omega-3 fat acids. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
Organic foods are produced with sustainable farming practices that promote soil quality and biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.
Most people associate organics with fruits, but organic products also include dairy, meat and poultry, as well as baked goods, personal care items, pet food and household cleaning supplies.
According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. To grow these foods, farmers cannot use non-organic (or conventional) methods. However, they may use approved natural pest control methods, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, and animal feed made from organic materials.
Further, the farmer must be careful about the amount of pesticide and fertilizer he uses in the growing season. GMOs, synthetic insecicides, artificial growth hormones or synthetic fertilizers can't be used by farmers.
Produces labelled as 100% organic meet all requirements. However, some farms won't claim that their products are 100% organic. This would confuse the consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "
