Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.
There are also fewer additives used during processing. 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.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. Organic agriculture encourages soil fertility, biodiversity and biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional 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.
Should you buy organic?

Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.
What are the most loved organic products?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.
Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP), requires that farmers follow strict guidelines when growing organic crops.
These guidelines cover soil preparation, crop rotation and pest control. They also include water conservation and harvesting techniques.
Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. Farmers should rotate crops and let the land go bare periodically to improve soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
