Frequently Asked Questions

What is organic food?

Organic food is made without pesticides or artificial fertilizers. These chemicals could cause health problems for those who eat inorganic food.

Organic food is grown naturally without harmful substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. These chemicals can be dangerous for both humans and animals.

Inorganic food can include meat, fish eggs, buttermilk cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, honey grains, vegetables, fruits spices, and herbs.

Organic refers the way an agricultural product grows. Organic farming is based on natural methods, soil amendments, and crop growth. Conventional farming uses pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals.

Organic foods must comply with strict guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. According to the National Organic Program Standards all organic food must be free of banned materials such as antibiotics growth hormones genetically modified organisms GMOs, and industrial solvents. Organic food must not be produced with toxic chemicals, petroleum or sewage sludges or ionizing radioactive substances.

Are organic foods better for us?

The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of 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.

Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.

Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.

How can you tell if food is organic?

Any chef will tell you fresh ingredients are more important than any other ingredient. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.

The same goes for our food. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.

Organic foods are produced without using synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms (GMO). These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.

But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. You have many options to safely grow them.

Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.

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. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.

There are two types of certification programs for organic products. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict compliance with organic standards.

USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.

Are there any negatives to buying organic goods?

Organic food has many benefits. There are some downsides to organic food. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.

There's nothing wrong with wanting more variety when it comes to groceries. We have been trained to expect inferior food that tastes bad. It's because most grocery stores carry identical prepackaged food.

Organic food is often avoided by people who think it's too expensive. But as long as they consider the health benefits, they may decide that spending a few dollars per week is worth it.
