What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. They can be beneficial for your health if you eat them often.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.

While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.

How To
Are there any downsides to organic products?
The benefits of organic food are well known. There are, however, some drawbacks. There are also higher consumer prices and lower quality standards.
You can't go wrong with wanting more options when it comes 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 to pay a little more?
Well, you could tell them that organic food costs more. But that doesn't explain why organic food tastes better. This might make them suspicious about your motives.
Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food is healthier and contains less pesticides, antibiotics, and it has higher nutritional content. It's also grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, so it's better for the environment and us.
Many people turn down organic food simply because it is too costly. If they take into account the health benefits, however, they might decide that spending a few extra dollars per week is worthwhile.
Organic food tastes great because it is made according to strict guidelines. Organic food tends to have more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
Organic food is also better for you because it's picked later. This makes the food more fresh and easier to digest.
Finally, organic food is generally cheaper because farmers grow it organically, which requires less labour and fertilizer.
