Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference?

Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.

"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But natural does not necessarily imply organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?

Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means organic food is free from pesticides and fertilizers.

Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.

The USDA National Organic Program (NOP), requires that farmers follow strict guidelines when growing organic crops.

These guidelines address soil preparation, crop rotations, pest control, water conservation, harvesting, and other practices.

Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.

What are organic fruits and vegetables?

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 better for the earth and our bodies because of these healthy ingredients.

Organic foods are made using sustainable agricultural practices, which protect soil quality and promote biodiversity. 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.

The USDA defines "organic" as that crops being raised according to strict rules set forth by federal government standards. This means that farmers can't use non-organic methods of growing these foods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.

The farmer must also follow the guidelines for how much fertilizer and insecticide he uses throughout the growing season. He must also rotate his fields among different crops. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". Some farms don't label their products 100% organic, as it could confuse consumers. Instead, they will call their product "made using organic ingredients." "

How To

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no 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 of food have been tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

Most grocery stores offer organic options. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
