Frequently Asked Questions

What are my top priorities when buying organic products

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.

When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.

When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.

When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.

If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.

How To

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.

The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.

Most grocery stores now carry organic meats and poultry. 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. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.

These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
