15 Foods I ALWAYS Buy Organic and Why

[@Chris-yt3sl]

Where I live (small city in Mississippi), organic foods cost up to 400% more and is rarely affordable for anyone. They do sometimes taste better, but we have a local market that grows it's own inventory, so that's usually the only option for better quality veggies

[@HealthNutNutrition]

You're right organic in smaller towns can be so expensive. Local is always good to and thats what Ill do when farmers markets start to pop up in the summer

[@tiffanygardiner5006]

I would love to see a video all about sugar. The different kinds of sugar and if they’re really any better for you and ways to cut down your sugar intake. For example, what is one of the better jams to buy?

[@haileyarmer3524]

I VOTE FOR THIS TO BE A VIDEO TOO!!!!

[@ThePixidust333]

Tiffany Gardiner one that has no added sugar. Look at ingredients. Go for natural fruit ones. Or make your own then you know for sure what's what.

[@alanas_moon]

I think buying organic is very important, especially for produce, meats and dairy.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Support organic farmers!

[@nicolcacola]

@@HealthNutNutrition Healthier for us AND the farmer.

[@TheFarmBabe]

Not necessarily. If you ask any larger scale commercial organic farm, many of them use MORE pesticides than their non organic farm counterparts. "Organic" is purely marketing!

[@nicolcacola]

​@@TheFarmBabe Organic farmers can use anything from the National List of synthetic substances allowed for use in organic crop production. All produce still has to pass a low contamination rate in order to be deemed organic. Using more products in pest or fungi control doesn't equal more toxicity.

[@TheFarmBabe]

@@nicolcacola yes and the same goes for non organic!

[@kdeeez]

Love sweet potatoes but never know how to use them creatively. Can you make a video of a few ways to use them in recipes? Thanks!

[@aliciamitrowitz3122]

I agree on organic eggs. I used to buy the cheapest eggs and ever since I switched to organic I have realized how much better the organic taste. I also sometimes had an upset stomach after eating the cheap eggs and so far have been better with the organic eggs and even crave them more.

[@modmomdiaries489]

So I am so happy I watched this video for a very strange reason. I have dark countertops and have been wanting to paint my cabinets light but was worried it would look weird. But the dark handles on tours make it perfect! Love it 😁

[@lukaselijahephraimlarkins1467]

Here is a recipe for you. Well there s this cafe in brunswick maine called wild oats and they have some wicked good food! Well my favorite thing there is there curry tempe salad. I just made it last night at home because they were closed when I got out of work. It is vegan mayo, tempe, salt, curry powder, red onion, pepper, cranberry's, fuji apple and if you want chopped walnuts or chopped almonds you can put those too. I put a little honey over the top. I know that is not vegan but I eat it for health and I love the taste.

I eat an all organic diet. 100% grass fed beef, wild caught salmon, grass fed organic skim milk and organic chicken breast.

[@kyriakoskanlis228]

Actually skim milk isn't healthier than full fat because grassfed organic full fat milk contains an array of omega 3 fatty acids that are very good for tou!

[@tjan3938]

Could you do a video on different ways/ recipes to cook/ use sweet potatoes? I struggle to find a good go to way that my family enjoys. Thanks!!!

[@catmama54]

I would like it too and did you put anything on those sliced sweet potatoes?

[@alysiasanchez8213]

Check out Annie Jaffrey’s food vlogs. She eats a sweet potato every day and usually in an interesting way!

[@TheFarmBabe]

I would highly recommend you connect with farmers to learn how your food is farmed. There is a ton of misinformation online but often times more chemical pesticides are used in organic than conventional. Economies of scale matter... Organic pesticides aren't as effective so more are usually required.

[@sea1823]

Please make a video for juices when your sick! It looks helpful 😚

[@dianewalker9783]

I try to buy organic when I can for fresh fruit and veg as I personally find that they taste much better. My top three that tend to be similar price to non-organic are spring onions (scallions), cherry tomatoes and jersey royal potatoes 😊

I always buy organic tofu. Tomatos, romaine and coconut. Those are thing I try to get organic all the time but if I can't then im ok. I am mostly vegan and gluten free. I find a bunch of foods that are those thing are also organic. I am coming clean and saying I dont buy organic frozen veggies. I go to the dollar tree and get my veggies there. I am going to try out going corn free this summer but I dont know because im already gluten free.

Hi, great info.! Sprouts has a delicious organic corn chip and super cheap. Have you seen the egg rating online page? I look up the pasture raised egg brands to see how the farm is rated. I like brown eggs also. ;) I also really like the Kerry gold grass fed butter. Really good Irish butter. Organic always seems to taste better in my opinion. Lol. Thanks for another great video. I am interested in seeing what you purchase that's not organic. Have a wonderful Monday.

[@JessicaBurgo]

this is so interesting.. I always wondered WHY people buy organic.

[@TheFarmBabe]

There's no need. Organic does NOT mean pesticide free. Organic pesticides are "natural" but mean nothing in terms of toxicity. Organic pesticides aren't as effective so often times more are required. I always say... Try and buy small and local, but if at the grocery store, economies of scale matter. I refuse to buy anything organic because consumers have been lied to and it isn't right.

[@kyriakoskanlis228]

@@TheFarmBabe an array of studies indicated that organic produce has lower pesticide residues. Moreover, how come the taste of organic fruit and vegetables is better than the conventional ones? Last but not least, organic dairy has more quantities of omega 3 fatty acids

[@kyriakoskanlis228]

Furthermore,organic oats contain much less Glyphosate -the active ingredient in RoundUp- than conventional oats

Organic means grown without the use of chemicals....whereas genetically modified crops are hybrids to create a superior quality crop....for eg. The golden wheat we are using all over world is a genetically modified version of brown wheat...so they are not a bad thing

[@nicolcacola]

GM crops are a monopoly and create ethical issues when it comes to traditional farming.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

yes but most organic foods are also non GMO

[@ivanperez4627]

Mine are lemons, apples and spinach. And your hair looks amazing 🥑💙

[@noghh5767]

That's good. But the pan u are using makes organic food pointless. Because in non stick pans they use a petrolium and chemical solvent to make it non stick. It's also bad even if u use stainless steel because it will also leach heavy metals. But it is a bit safer. But safest is glassware and clay pottery because it is natural. I would recomend pyrex glass.

I'm afraid an apple is an apple, a potato is a potato, organic just means you will be paying many times the price for the same thing that people can't even tell the difference between either! In my experience I MUCH prefer conventional food, I can't for the like of me see what all the fuss is over, despite their bragging and gloating! There is an awful lot of snobbery in this organic cult and I don't like it. Just because someone only buys conventional food or supports GMO's does NOT make him a bad person! I can't afford to buy only organic anyway, I only just finished my GCSE's and am looking for work experience. On my budget it would be daft to only buy organic when a perfectly good cheaper alternative, or should I say non alternative is available! I made a quiche last year for my fellow students, I only used cheep ingredients and no-one could tell the difference, conventional food is perfectly acceptable ordinary food, sure you could go to Waitrose's or M & S and get a biodynamic, organic, homeopathic, fair trade, pagan yada yada yada for 40 times as much, but I just don't see the point. Today there are so many quality cheques and regulation's, there is very unlikely to be anything wrong with modern conventional produce, yet some people favour the alternative which may net be as innocent as you may think. Sometimes something that is accepted by everyone else can still be wrong. Just because people agree with it does not mean they are 100% correct, what do most people know about agriculture? I recently passed a level 2 in horticulture and got a merit! It's not like I say things I can't back up! If you don't believe me then do your homework, look at the FSA website or cheque out the genetic literacy project and that's not the only data available if you have the time to sift through the propaganda!
