Frequently Asked Questions
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
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. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
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. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
Is organic food healthy?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. Of course, there are exceptions to both categories, but for the most part, the answer to your question is yes. Organic food is safer because it does not contain any harmful chemicals.
Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Many grocery stores now sell organic food. This makes it easier for customers to select organic products.
Organic food is better tasting and healthier because it contains more vitamins and minerals. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.
Organic farming is regulated by the USDA. Farmers must follow strict guidelines to ensure safe eating. There are more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.
As an added benefit, organic food is often much cheaper than conventional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. Organic farms are able to charge lower prices for their crops because they don't have to purchase expensive chemical inputs like insecticides and fungicides.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), organic food actually costs 10% less per pound. Consider switching to organic foods if you are concerned about your health and the well-being of your family.
Organic food has become a popular alternative to standard American diets. Many people believe that organic food can only be found in specialty markets or gourmet restaurants. This is false. Organic food is easily available in all regular grocery stores in the United States.
In recent years organic food sales increased substantially. In the US, organic food sales reached $43Billion in 2012, an increase of $21Billion in 2007.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.
Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. For example, organic farming uses composting techniques to re-use nutrients in the soil. This reduces pollutants and conserves precious resources.
Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.
Organic production also means that farmers get higher prices for their products. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This leads to a greater demand for organic food products. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.
What is organic food?
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops are allowed to grow naturally, so farmers do not use chemicals to prevent weeds or pests.
Organic farming practices preserve soil quality and help conserve water resources. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.
What are organic products good for skin?
Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.
Organic skincare products don't contain artificial colours or fragrances.
They are designed to promote healthy skin, prevent premature wrinkles, heal injuries after they happen, and support overall wellbeing.

How To
Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products
Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It does not contain artificial preservatives or additives. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
- 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.
