Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if your food is organic?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. This is because eating well makes us feel better.
This holds true for our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are many safe ways to grow them.
Sometimes, organic farming is called sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.
There are two types of certification programs for organic products. The USDA National Organic Program certifies the one while the independent certifying agency certifies the other. Both require strict compliance with organic standards.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. It is safe to eat because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers are less likely to use toxic chemicals to kill birds or insects. This helps protect wildlife.
Buy organic meats whenever possible. This is the best way for you to eat healthy, organic meats. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.
Why should you buy organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

How To
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. However, some people believe natural doesn't 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 is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
