Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic fruits and vegetables?
Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. 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 grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are made without the use of harmful chemicals, irradiation or sewage waste.
While most consumers associate organics with produce, many organic products include dairy, meat, poultry, eggs, baked goods, personal care items, pet food, and household cleaning supplies.
"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.
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. Farmers cannot use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial growth hormones, synthetic insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers.
All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". But some farms do not label their products as 100% organic because it would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "
Why should I choose organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Check ingredient lists carefully. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?
Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or 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 farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.

How To
Are there any downsides to organic products?
Organic food offers many benefits. There are, however, some drawbacks. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.
It's okay to want more variety in grocery shopping. We have been trained to expect inferior food that tastes bad. That's why you'll find most grocery stores stocked with identical prepackaged products.
But today, organic food is becoming increasingly popular because it offers better nutrition and tastes great. How can you convince people it is worth spending a little more?
They could easily tell you that organic food costs more. But that doesn't explain why organic food tastes better. It may even make them question your motives.
It is better to emphasize its positive aspects. Organic food is more nutritious and has fewer pesticides or antibiotics. Organic food is healthier for you and your environment because it doesn't contain synthetic fertilizers or herbicides.
Many people don't want to eat organic food because it is too expensive. But as long as they consider the health benefits, they may decide that spending a few dollars per week is worth it.
Organic food tastes better because it is produced according to strict guidelines. Organic food retains more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Organic food is also more delicious because it's harvested later in the season. This makes it fresher and easier to digest.
Organic food is usually cheaper than conventional food because it is grown organically by farmers, which means that they use less fertilizer and labour.
