What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
