Frequently Asked Questions

Are organic foods healthier?

According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.

Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.

What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?

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

Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.

Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.

Are organic meats better?

This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Buy local to save money. Locally grown fruit and vegetables help lower the price of produce, as farmers are often given incentives to grow better crops.

Deals are another way to cut costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.

While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.

What is organic food?

Organic food is grown without pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These chemicals can be harmful for your health.

Organic food is free from harmful substances like pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals can cause harm to animals and humans.

Inorganic food includes meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs.

The way that an agricultural product is grown organically is what the term means. Organic farming employs natural methods and soil amendments for growing crops. Conventional agriculture uses pesticides or fertilizers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must set strict guidelines for organic foods. The National Organic Program Standards require that all organic foods are free of prohibited substances such as antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically modified organisms or industrial solvents. Additionally, organic food must be raised without toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers, sewage sludges, or ionizing radiation.

How do you determine if food has been grown organically?

Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. This is because eating well makes us feel better.

This is true for food as well. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. It was not treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.

However, organic farming is not an easy task. There are many methods to safely grow them.

Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.

Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.

They also reduce chemical runoff into waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

Two types of organic product certification programs exist. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict adherence to organic standards.

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

Statistics

• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

5 Reasons to buy organic products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. They do not use industrial solvents or sewage effluent in their production. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. In addition, they are produced under conditions that allow them to retain their nutritional value and freshness for longer periods.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains fewer chemicals than nonorganic produce. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. 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 to reduce the amount of air pollution.
3. 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. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
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 can be found in many processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
