Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference?

Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices improve soil health and water quality as well as animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

Do organic foods offer health benefits?

Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.

Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.

There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.

Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.

Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.

People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. However, prices vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.

But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.

So, should you buy organic?

It depends on what kind of person you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.

Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.

Why should organic be my first choice?

The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. Make healthy food choices.

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

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.

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

Be sure to read all ingredient labels. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.

How To

How to save money on organic meat

Here are some tips and tricks that will help you save money on organic meat.

Here are some tips to help you find low-cost organic meats. Also, how much per pound they cost. Learn how to get maximum value from the products you buy.

It doesn't take a lot to eat healthy. Sometimes, it takes a bit of creativity to save money while eating well. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.

Wholesale clubs - Sams Club and Costco are great places for bulk food like chicken breasts or pork chops. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. This way, you won't waste any meat. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
You can shop online for meat at great prices. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. It's easy to browse their website and see what's available at different times.
Locate a farmer in your area. Local farmers are usually cheaper than big box retailers as they don’t pay high stocking fees. They also know what their animals ate and drink so they can tell exactly what is inside.
Choose lean cuts of meat - It is usually cheaper to cook lean meat than fatty. Therefore, choose the leanest cuts. The most commonly used cuts include flank steak, tenderloin and top round steaks. These cuts are very low in fat and high in protein.
Try new recipes. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. It's possible to create delicious meals with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic using olive oil, spices, and garlic.
Make your leftovers creative - You can make sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and other dishes with leftover meat or poultry. For quick lunches, leftover meat can be used to make dinners.
