What does it mean for a product to be organic?
The term “organic” refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. In the U.S., organic crops must be grown without the use of synthetic herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, or bioengineered genes (GMOs). Organic foods are usually fresher, friendlier to the environment, and more nutrient-rich.
