Frequently Asked Questions

Are organic foods healthy?

There are two types. One is those that we grow ourselves, and the other is those that we buy from someone else. There are exceptions to these categories, but most people will answer your question yes. Organic food is healthier than conventional food because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. It also doesn’t contain preservatives or genetically modified organisms.

You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Most grocery stores now carry organic food, making it easier for consumers to choose organic products.

Organic food is better tasting and healthier because it contains more vitamins and minerals. In addition, organics are usually grown without applying synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which means they do not pollute our soil and water supply.

The USDA regulates organic farming practices and requires farmers to follow strict guidelines to ensure that organic produce is safe to eat. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.

Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. Customers pay less for the same amount in calories, protein and nutrients. Organic farms don't have the expense of expensive chemical inputs, such as insecticides and/or fungicides. They can charge lower prices.

In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. Organic food is an option if you want to improve your health and the health of your family.

Organic food has become an increasingly popular alternative to American standard diets. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. Organic food is easily available in all regular grocery stores in the United States.

The sales of organic food have increased dramatically in recent years. The US market value of organic foods was $43Billion in 2012, up from $21B in 2007.

What are some organic skin products?

Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.

Organic skincare products do not contain artificial colours, fragrances or preservatives.

They also have the ability to support healthy skin, prevent premature ageing, promote healing after injuries and overall well-being.

• Cruelty Free - No animals were injured during the manufacturing process.

Why should you buy organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Make healthy food choices.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:

Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.

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."

Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.

Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

What should I look out for when buying organic products?

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.

When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. 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 tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.

If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

What are the most popular organic products?

Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.

Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.

But they also tend to be higher priced. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.

According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.

Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.

However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. 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 increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.

However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.

Why is organic food important

Our health is dependent on organic produce. It's the best method to ensure you eat healthy foods. It's healthier for us as well as more environmentally-friendly because it doesn’t rely on pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals.

Organic farming uses natural methods for growing crops without using harmful chemicals. Organic farming is safer for animals and humans because it produces fewer pollutants. When you choose organic food, both you and the earth are protected.

The health benefits of organic foods go well beyond our bodies. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us feel. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. They taste fresher, look better and last longer.

This is why organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.

How To

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.

The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.

In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.

These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
