Frequently Asked Questions

What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products

USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. 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.

Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.

It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.

When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

Does organic mean that it is not sprayed with pesticides?

Organic food does not contain pesticides or chemicals and is therefore chemical-free. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Because organic produce does not contain harmful additives it has more nutrients that conventionally produced foods.

The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.

These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.

Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.

How can you tell whether food is organic?

If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.

The same is true of our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.

Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.

But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.

Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. Organic farming is more sustainable than traditional methods and provides all the nutrients necessary to sustain life.

Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.

They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.

Two types of organic product certification programs exist. The USDA National Organic Program certifies the one while the independent certifying agency certifies the other. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.

USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

Is organic produce healthy?

There are two types, those we grow our own and those we purchase from another source. Although there are exceptions to each category, most of the answers to your question are 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.

Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Many grocery stores now stock organic food. This makes it easier to shop organic.

Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Organics are grown without using pesticides and fertilizers. They also don't pollute soil or water.

The USDA regulates organic farming practices. They require farmers to follow strict guidelines so that organic produce can be eaten safely. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.

Organic food can often be cheaper than conventional food. Consumers are paying less for the same amount of calories, protein, and nutrients. Organic farms are free to charge less for their crops, as they don't need to pay expensive chemical inputs such insecticides orfungicides.

According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. If you care about the health of yourself and your family, consider switching to organic food.

Organic food has become a popular alternative to standard American diets. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.

How To

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products

Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It does not contain artificial preservatives or additives. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that preserve their nutritional value and freshness over longer periods.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. This helps reduce pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
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 richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
