Frequently Asked Questions
Which organic products are most in demand?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. The Organic Food Index was created to address this. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.
To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.
Which organic vegetables are the best?
Organic vegetables provide the most healthy and nutritious food for people. They are among the most nutritious foods on Earth.
Organic produce is grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and GMO seeds. These chemicals pose severe risks to our health and environment.
Organic produce contains more nutrients, vitamins and minerals. They are healthier as we absorb nutrients more easily when we eat organics.
Organic vegetables taste great and are safe to eat. There are no known side effects associated with consuming organic produce.
You can find organic fruits and veggies at any grocery store. Organic produce can be found at any grocery store as long as it is produced in accordance with USDA guidelines. This means that they must meet the standards established by the United States Department of Agriculture.

How To
Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. They do not use industrial solvents or sewage effluent in their production. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free of artificial preservatives and additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps reduce pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. These harmful substances can be avoided by sticking to whole foods like meat, eggs, fish and nuts as well as seeds, beans, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
