Organic food can be cooked exactly the same as regularly grown foods, but some people cook them differently to preserve their nutritional value or to leave out ingredients that are unhealthy. For example, someone cooking organic sweet potatoes might use stevia in place of brown sugar and an alternative instead of butter or margarine. They might also boil or bake potatoes instead of frying them, but those who do not use organically grown foods often select healthier means of cooking foods.
Organic foods. The different ways the same foodstuff is grown depends on how environmentally friendly they are.
Organic foods are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Processed organic foods are made from organically grown foods and do not contain additives and preservatives that are not organic. They are not GMO.
I do not think there is a name for food grown without pesticide. There is a name for foods grown with pesticides (normally infers chemical pesticide) and there is also a name for foods grown with organic pesticides. But these are two completely different animals.
Yes. Organic food does not have the additives and preservatives that non organic foods do. It is also grown withoit the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Chemical or toxic pesticide-free is the guarantee that an organic label makes in regard to organic-grown foods. For example, non-organic and organic foods may be grown with pest management programs that include the use of pyrethrin. Food that is grown with pyrethrin derived from Chrysanthemum cinerarifolium will be considered organic whereas food grown with pyrethrin that combines with such synthetic adjuvants as piperonyl butoxide or that synthetically is made will not receive organic certification.
No.
Organic foods generally cost more than non-organic foods because they are more labor intensive to grow. Organic foods are, in my opinion, better in quality because they are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and processed organic foods contain no additives or preservatives that are not organic. There is a least some evidence that the nutrients in organic foods are greater than in their non-organic counterparts.
In foods grown organically, there are no poisons.
They are more expensive and can be smaller than chemically grown foods
Like any foods, organically grown foods can become contaminated with unhealthy organisms, which means they would be bad for you. Unless that happems. organic foods are healthy.
McDonald's does not advertise that any of their foods are grown organically, and since organically grown foods are more expensive, it is unlikely that any of their foods are grown organically.
As consumers become more aware of additives in foods and the way animals are raised on factory farms. the demand for organic, free-range, and locally grown foods are increasing. Some people are also choosing organic foods to avoid GMOs in foods and the harmones and antibiotics that are given to animals because they believe organic foods are healthier.
