Organic food is organically grown without the use of harmful chemicals such as pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals can harm humans and animals.
Inorganic food includes meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs.
Organic refers the way an agricultural product grows. Organic farming, for example, uses natural methods and soil amendments in order to grow crops. Conventional farming, however, uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), must ensure that organic food meets strict standards. According to the National Organic Program Standards, all certified organic food must be free from prohibited materials such as antibiotics, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and industrial solvents. Additionally, organic food must be raised without toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers, sewage sludges, or ionizing radiation.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
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. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.
The use of additives in the processing process is also less common. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
Many people are concerned that organic food is more expensive than regular foods. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
If you take a look at the cost of a basket containing both types of fruits, you will see that organic is less expensive.
Do you really need to buy organic?
It all depends upon who you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
You can purchase organic food if it is delicious. 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.

Organic skincare products do not contain artificial colours, fragrances or preservatives.
They are also formulated to help maintain healthy skin, prevent premature aging, promote healing after injury, and support overall well-being.

- Cruelty-Free - No animals were harmed during the manufacturing process.
- Natural Ingredients: The ingredient is naturally derived form the animal or plant.
- Vegan/Vegetarian - the ingredients are either vegan or vegetarian.
- Gluten-Free: This is when gluten was eliminated from the formulation.

- Biodegradable product - when thrown out, the product will disintegrate into harmless components.
- Pesticide-Free – No pesticides were used in the growing or harvesting of crops.
- GMO-Free refers to the fact that no ingredients in the product contain genetically modified organisms.
- Certified Organic is a certification that the ingredients of the recipe were grown using sustainable methods.
Are organic foods healthy?
There are two types. One is those that we grow ourselves, and the other is those that we buy from someone else. While there are exceptions, the general answer is yes to both. Organic food is healthier because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Many grocery stores now sell organic food. This makes it easier for customers to select organic products.
Organic food is also better tasting and more nutritious because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.
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 over 30 million acres of US organic farmland.
Organic food can often be cheaper than conventional food. For the same amount, consumers pay less. Organic farms don't have the expense of expensive chemical inputs, such as insecticides and/or fungicides. They can charge lower prices.
According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. If you care about the health of yourself and your family, consider switching to organic food.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. Organic food is readily available at regular grocery stores all across the United States.
In recent years organic food sales increased substantially. The US market value of organic foods was $43Billion in 2012, up from $21B in 2007.
What are organic fruits?
Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.
Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are made without the use of harmful chemicals, irradiation or sewage waste.
Although organics are most commonly associated with produce, organics can also be found in dairy, meats, poultry, eggs and baked goods.
"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. They may however use approved natural pest management methods like crop rotation or cover cropping as well as organic feeds.
In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. Farmers cannot use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial growth hormones, synthetic insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers.
The requirements for organic fruits and vegetables are met if they are labeled 100 percent organic. Some farms don't label their products 100% organic, as it could confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "
How can I determine if my produce was organic?
These labels will help you ensure that organic produce is purchased.
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.
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 synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- Animals are not given antibiotics.
- Animals are never given hormones.
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- There's no sewage waste sludge
- GMOs prohibited
- Never was an antibiotic given
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting medications
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage waste (if it's non-GMO).
- No irradiation

How To
5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic food is grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They don't contain any genetically modified organisms or irradiated foods. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During its growth, the food's natural environment remains unaffected by contamination. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. This reduces air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
- Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
