Frequently Asked Questions

What is organic meat?

Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.

Organic meats are good for the environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. We also help protect wildlife because organic farmers usually do not use toxic chemicals that kill insects and birds.

How To

Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There are no hormones and antibiotics used. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.

Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps reduce pollution.
Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
