Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic fruits and vegetables?

Organic foods do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They also contain more nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus omega-3 fatty acids. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.

Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.

Although organics are most commonly associated with produce, organics can also be found in dairy, meats, poultry, eggs and baked goods.

The USDA defines organic as crops that are grown according to federal standards. This means that farmers can't use non-organic methods of growing these foods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.

Additionally, the farmer must adhere to guidelines concerning the amount of fertilizer and pesticide that he uses during the growing seasons and how he rotates his fields among various crops. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "

What are my top priorities when buying organic products

Look for USDA-certified organic labels. 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 you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.

Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.

You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

These are the labels you should look for to ensure you are purchasing organic produce

USDA Organic Certified – Produced by USDA and certified as 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.

Pastured/Freerange - Products made from animals who graze freely and are outdoors.

These labels indicate that the product meets certain criteria.

• No pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
• No genetically altered organisms
• The animal is never given antibiotics
• Animals are never given hormones.
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• No sewage solids
• No GMOs
• No antibiotics ever given
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage sludge (if it's a non-GMO)
• No irradiation

Why should you buy organic?

The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

Are organic foods better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.

Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.

Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.

What are the top organic products?

Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.

Organic products will be the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.

They also tend to have higher prices. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether 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. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.

Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.

In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.

This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.

However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. The 25% of organic food purchase made by younger adults below 35 are made up of young adults.

How To

5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There is no use hormones or anti-biotics. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This reduces air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. Farmers should rotate crops and let the land go bare periodically to improve soil health. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
4. Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
