Frequently Asked Questions
Why is organic produce important?
For our health, organic produce is crucial. Organic produce is the best way to eat healthy foods. It's not only better for us but also it's more sustainable as it doesn't rely upon pesticides and fertilers.
Organic farming relies on natural methods to cultivate crops, without the use of harmful chemicals. This results in fewer environmental pollutants and makes organic farming safer. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.
Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. We all know the negative effects that processed foods can have on our health. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. It means that organic fruits, vegetables and other foods are fresher tasting, more vibrant and last longer.
Organic food is so important. Organic is healthy for your health and for the environment.
Is organic food better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.
Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
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 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.
The use of additives in the processing process is also less common. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
Should you buy organic?
It all depends on who you are. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.
Organic food is available if you are a fan of good food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture conserves the environment and promotes biodiversity.
How do you know if your food is organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.
The same applies to our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are produced without using synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms (GMO). These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.
There is no art in growing organic crops. There are many methods to safely grow them.
Sometimes, organic farming is called sustainable agriculture. Organic farming is more sustainable than traditional methods and provides all the nutrients necessary to sustain life.
Crop rotation, crop rotation, cover cropping and composting manure are all organic farming methods. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.
They also reduce chemical runoff into waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.
Two types of certification programs are available for organic products. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. There are no hormones and antibiotics used. In addition, they are produced under conditions that allow them to retain their nutritional value and freshness for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. This helps reduce pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
