When to Choose Organic Foods

Organic food and baby

Terms like growth hormones, pesticides and antibiotics can sound really intimidating — especially when it comes to feeding your baby. This is a real and growing concern today for many families and many are choosing to buy organic foods as a means to control what enters our bodies when we eat. Organic foods have become increasingly popular over the past few years, and as a result, they are often readily available in most supermarkets and grocery stores. If you buy, or are considering buying, organic foods, here is some very important information that you should know before you go to the store.

What “Organic” Really Means.

Here is the definition, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA):

“Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled organic, a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too.”

Understanding Organic Food Labels.

There are basically 3 different organic labels that have been approved by the USDA. Make sure that you understand the differences in these labels so you know what you are really buying.

  1. 100% Organic: Must contain 100% organic ingredients.
  2. Organic: Must contain at least 95% organic ingredients.
  3. Made With Organic Ingredients: Contains at least 70% organic ingredients.

Pesticides on Produce.

You should know that organic farms are allowed to use pesticides. Pesticides are mixtures of chemicals that are used on farms to prevent or destroy weeds, pests and disease from damaging crops. The law says that organic farmers can use pesticides, as long as they are derived from natural sources. This may be surprising and a little alarming to anyone who is concerned about chemicals on their food. Rest assured, though, that although natural pesticides are not perfect, organic produce still has less pesticide residue than conventionally grown produces.

 Picking and Choosing the Best Organic Buys.

Some families choose to pay the higher prices and choose to pick up all organic produce when they go grocery shopping. However, it may not be a practical option for every family. If the grocery store prices are too high, try checking out your local farmer’s market. Farmers markets can be a great resource for locally grown, organic produce at a lower price. Not only do many local farmers practice organic farming, but they usually sell their own produce at the markets and are available to answer any questions. Don’t be shy! Ask them about their farming methods, if they use pesticides, and if so, what kinds. Many small farms cannot afford to pay to become certified organic, but they usually have signs telling you that they farm organic or grow chemical-free produce.

Another thing to consider is that whether or not your produce is organic, washing it well in cold water can eliminate much of the pesticide residue left behind on your produce. Here is a list of the 12 fruits and vegetables that have been found to contain the highest amounts of pesticides on them and also a list of the 15 cleanest fruits and vegetables (non-organic with minimal to no pesticide residue).

The Dirty Dozen:

  • Apples
  • Celery
  • Peaches
  • Strawberries
  • Spinach
  • Nectarines (imported)
  • Grapes (imported)
  • Sweet bell peppers
  • Potatoes
  • Blueberries
  • Lettuce
  • Kale or collard greens

The Clean 15:

  • Onions
  • Sweet corn
  • Pineapple
  • Avocados
  • Asparagus
  • Sweet peas
  • Mangoes
  • Eggplant
  • Cantaloupe
  • Kiwi
  • Cabbage
  • Watermelon
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Grapefruit
  • Mushrooms
If you are trying to buy as much organic as possible while staying on a budget, buy The Dirty Dozen organic and save some money by shopping for The Clean 15 non-organic.

We buy almost all organic foods (for sure any produce where we’re eating the skin). It’s a family tradition to head to the local Farmer’s Market on Saturday’s. We do our shopping for the week and get big cinnamon rolls and freshly squeezed lemonade from one of the vendors. I love it!

We have our own garden for the first year and, OMG, we have a lot to learn about it. organic food is most expensive than regular one so, we try to buy some organic and combine it with what we get in our garden.

I LOVE farmers markets and local farm stands. I also find fresh organic produce. Now that I have a little one (5 months old) i’m more interested in organic produce. We are starting solids soon and the farmers markets are the perfect place to find fresh, organic produce for him.

We loooove our local farmers’ markets! They make grocery shopping fun and they have been able to watch my son grow. It’s great to be able to know the growers on a personal level. I’ve been making his baby food from market produce only and he’s absolutely loving it!

I would love to win this! We currently stick to the “Dirty Dozen” shopping list for organic groceries. If I find organic produce, that isn’t on the Dirty Dozen, if it is the same price I buy that as well. We plan to feed our little guy organic baby food, when possible, when the time comes!

I have always told myself that I would love something like this whenever I had a baby and now already my baby boy will be eating solids in no time. I’m a super fanatic about eating healthy/organic foods and wanting the same for my baby and this would be a great way to help ensure I do the best for my LO:)

My 2 year old today just let his chicken in the house so he could give it a cracker. We also have our own garden. It is very important to use to give our kids a chance and since switching to organic our older kids do no get sick as often if ever.

  80. Raeshundra Douglas says:

    Where I live, organic products are few and far between. But if I happen to be where they are more available, I’m definitely looking forward to purchasing it. The list of dirty dozen totally surprised me, but I wash my fruit thoroughly before consumption anyway. I would LOVE to win this because my baby is being introduced to foods now and this would help so much since it would allow me to give him the best!!

  89. Leslie Guenther says:

    We only buy from a local farmer during the summer. This way I know where it all is coming from and how they grow their foods.

  90. Kitty says:

    I’m a mommy to be and want nothing but the best choices in feeding for my little one. This would be a perfect gift, because I definitely plan on feeding my baby organic natural choices!!!

  94. Jax A says:

    I’m a new mom and my son who just turned 4 months is already showing signs of his interest in solid food. This is one chapter of my mommyhood that I am very excited about! With the help of these storage and the very handy blender, it wouldn’t take so much of my time to prepare sumptuous food for my little bundle of joy. I’m pretty sure that with the various choices of organic food in our neighborhood market, it would be easy to always supply him with nutritious, healthy and safer food choices. I really hope I can win this product to help me in this new journey! :)

  95. Leane G says:

    We try to go to the farmer’s market at least once a month. We are good about buying organic spinach & greens, but not so great about fruits like strawberries.

  96. Sheree says:

    I definitely buy the organic “dirty dozen” produce. I try to buy as much organic as I can to stay away from harmful pesticides, but I also acknowledge that there are some fruits ad veggies that aren’t so bad if the organic version is not on sale or not available. I buy at both the grocery store and local farmers markets in the summertime. I’m lucky enough to live in an area where there are farmers markets almost every day of the week during the summer months.

  97. Amy McAllister says:

    Thank you for the information. We are getting ready to add in some baby food….and I need all the info I can get! I would LOVE to have this Puree System! I am sure it will be wonderful because I have yet to find anything from Dr. Brown’s that isn’t! :)

    We go to the farmers market every week and buy most of our food from there. Eggs, meat, and produce!

  108. Lauren Nguyen says:

    We have two local farmers markets but it’s a little confusing because not all of the stands advertise that they are organic or sometimes only half of their produce is organic.
    I buy organic produce when I’m making baby food.

I know what is in season and growing here locally and those are the items I purchase and plan my meals around! I also make all of my daughters baby food, can and make jams and jellies! I have my own garden and after several years or experimenting know what grows well in our soil/area and grow these items for my families consumption ….sharing any over abundance with family and friends!

  146. yesenia says:

    I love organic. I prefer to make my own baby food so I know exactly what’s in it. I don’t want any suprises and like that I don’t have guess what I’m feeding my baby. I have complete control over my baby’s diet and it’s great!:)

  216. Rebecca Nevins says:

    Having 5 special needs kids I am trying to shop better and actually buy my son organic fruit snacks because he has red dye allergies and most things Ive found organic dont contain dyes.

  223. angela b says:

    I love to buy organic produce when its on sale, it makes me feel great. But thats the catch even the sale prices are more than regular. You would think by having these companies use no chemicals would save them and us money. I have never been to a farmers market! hopefully this season

  224. lisa yip-Rivera says:

    I don’t go out of my way to buy organic. Only been to a farmers market couple times.

  242. Dusty B says:

    A farmer’s market just opened in my hometown, near my parents, so we visit as often as we can. When we shop, we try to opt for the organic versions of our favorite fruits and veggies, too!

  243. Amber Brantley says:

    Hints and Tips for Farmer’s Markets Shopping

    Take Your Time
    Have fun browsing! I like to make a slow loop around the market, making note of stands of special interest, before I begin buying. Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t buy a fresh filled croissant or some raspberries to munch on as I stroll around!
    Bring Cash
    Cash is the easiest currency. However, did you know that many farmer’s markets in the United States participate in a WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Farmers Market Nutrition Program? If your family qualifies, you can receive coupons good at farmer’s markets that help supplement your meals. And local farmers benefit too. That’s definitely a win-win situation.
    Bring Containers and Shopping Bags
    Although some farmer’s market vendors have bags and boxes, it’s easiest if you bring your own reusable bags with handles. You are contributing to the most basic recycling and environmental causes by using cloth and string bags, besides buying local, most likely organically grown produce.
    Ask Questions
    Make sure to ask questions of the vendors when you see unfamiliar produce. I learned about edamame, or fresh soybeans, last year at the St. Paul’s farmers market and they have become a favorite addition to my meals in summertime. Vendors and farmers love to share their knowledge and can even give you recipes and cooking tips.
    Dress Comfortably
    Wear walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Most farmer’s markets are open rain or shine, so be prepared with sunscreen and collapsible umbrellas; and watch the weather! If you take your children, make sure you have supplies, a stroller, and drinks for them. Involve them in the process too, and they will become more interested in fresh produce and meal preparation.
    Go Early
    There’s nothing better than strolling through a fragrant and colorful farmer’s market early on a late summer morning. The sights, smells, and sounds are incredibly beautiful. You’ll find the best selection if you show up early too.
    Go Late
    Just before closing time, you’ll find some of the best deals, because vendors don’t want to take their wares back home. But remember that the selection will be limited at this time, and some vendors may be sold out.
    Bring Coolers
    Make sure to have coolers with ice packs in your car, or take the produce straight home to keep it fresh and at its peak.
    Experiment!
    Don’t be afraid to try something new. Have fun! You’ll probably discover a few favorite fruit, vegetable, plant, flower, bread or cheese that will make your summer even richer and sweeter.

  245. Gail A says:

    I go to the farmer’s market here every week.

  246. liz says:

    In addition to markets, farmers use other methods to sell food, including:

    CSA (community supported agriculture). Members purchase shares in a farmer’s crop before the season begins and are provided a portion of the harvest all season long. Please visit our CSA page for information on exactly what this type of agriculture is and to locate CSA programs around the country.
    Farm stands. Farm stands range from a bench with tomatoes alongside the road to an enclosed structure that sells many types of produce, meats and even baked and processed foods. During the height of the summer when vegetables are abundant, you can still find small stands at the side of the road with vegetables and a cash jar, so customers can pay what they want. Large farm stands can resemble stores and do not always sell local goods — check the labels or ask if you aren’t sure.
    “Pick your own” farms. Some farmers, especially berry and orchard growers, allow consumers to pick their own produce. Usually for a set price by the bushel or pint, families can go into the farmer’s fields and pick their own crops. This is good for individuals interested in freezing or canning. Some farms also allow consumers to come to the farm and choose which animal they would like, before slaughter.

  247. john says:

    If you know a bit of what to expect when you get to the farmers market, making decisions at each stall is much easier. Learn what grows in your area when and talk to the growers about what will be coming to market in upcoming weeks.

  248. Lindsay Hobbs says:

    Absolutely love farmer’s markets!

  249. We do buy organic produce! From our neighbors! They plant enough for themselves, and then some. I always stop buy and purchase fresh tomatoes, peaches, cucumber, organic homemade jams and jellies, apples, pumpkins, and more!

  254. Stefanie says:

    This would be great to have to make our son’s organic food with who is due any day now!!

  255. Tracy Moore says:

    I can not go to the Farmers Market because it is held when I am working. Our local Organic Farmers provide a monthly program. They supply us bi-weekly with Organic Produce. It is wonderful and we have even tried many new vegtables that we might not have if not for the service.

  256. michelle says:

    My husband and I have started eating organic and we would love this to make our son’s food too! Thanks so much!

    My baby just turned 6 months, and I am going to try to start making her baby food!

  261. Pati McElroy says:

    This would be great in making baby food!

  262. Vinita Bhatia says:

    Every weekend, we go to our farmer’s market. I have found stuff that is not available in any store…it is cheaper and fresher there.
    When it comes to Organic — We have few farmers with organic products…I love being there.

  263. Wendy says:

    I LOVE Farmer’s Markets. I love being able to get fresh veggies from trusted growers in my community. We also plant a garden yearly and can some of our own veggies. I would LOVE to win the Puree & Simple blender, it would be very helpful with baby #2.

  264. Mai says:

    I sometimes buy organic produce, but I wish they were cheaper. I also get scared to buy organic produce because I’ve seen on TV that the produce could come from countries where they can label organic but they’re in fact not organic. I love farmers market too, but I’ve also seen a news story of a vendor at the market selling non-organic produce as organic and selling at higher price. The vendor also said at the market he’s a local farmer, but the news reporter found that the farm didn’t exist. Stories like that just make me wonder what to believe. My friends are organic lovers and tell me organic produce have more nutrients but I’ve seen on TV there are no difference. I’ve also read on the internet that organic produce still have pesticide because pesticide get blown by the wind. I’d love to provide the best care for my baby who just turned 8 months but the decision making to buy organic is rather hard especially when our budget is so tight…

  265. Megan says:

    I shop at the local farmers market for me and husband. I can’t wait for our little one to get here so I can make him his own baby food when he is ready.

  266. Melissa Mariott says:

  269. Laurie Campbell says:

    When in season, we buy everything we can from local farm stands and farmers markets. When we can’t get if from the local farmers, we have a wonderful supermarket that sells a whole range of organic products. This has been such a life changing decision for our family to eat locally and organically.

  270. Ali Watson says:

    Yes, I love to buy organic for my little one. We have a new farmer’s market in our area, and I’m excited to check it out! :)

  271. Annia Beattie says:

    I am somewhat familiar with the dirty dozen and try to buy organic on those. It costs more, but I can tell the difference. I have allergies to the pesticides and I can tell when I eat apples that are not organic!

  272. Allison says:

    This would be great to have for our baby. : )

  273. Bonnie says:

    We used to go to a Farmer’s Market every weekend, but now we only go once in a while since we joined a CSA (community supported agriculture). We love picking up our box from the greenhouse each week and seeing what fresh veggies we are getting!

    This would be nice to have.

  481. Collene says:

    I buy organic produce when: a) the price is cheaper or comparable then the non-organic produce, or b) the produce is an item that the outer layer gets eaten (ie. apples, pears) or if I am using the outer peel (ie. lemon zest)

I hate when you go to bite into a piece tomato or what have you and you can’t taste it (this happens often with walmart produce). Plus packaged baby food now a days is so high in sugar, sodium, and preservatives. When my daughter gets old enough for real food (she’s due in Sept) than she will for sure be getting homemade food made with good locally grown produce!

    I love Farmer’s Markets but unfortunately due to the rough economy I have been unable to visit as frequently. This would be a great prize since I am expecting my 4th child in January. I hope I win & good luck to all!!!

  653. Brandi says:

    great article. We’re having our first child in August and are already on a budget, but we want to be able to provide the best for our family. Glad to know that you are trying to get people educated about what they are eating and how to avoid harmful additives without breaking the bank!

    Organic is always a good way to go. WITH this system you can save a lot more.

  656. Cindy Hwang says:

    would love this! Buy organic all the time and love to make baby food.

  657. miriam dobson says:

    we have many uses for this product

  658. Kelsey Smith says:

    Eating all organic is one of the most important things to my family and myself. Though it does get a little expensive it is definitely worth it. You only have one body, why would you want to fill it with chemicals and preservatives? I cannot state enough how important it is to support local farmers at things such as farmers markets and fruit/vegetable stands. If more people did i think we could eventually weed out the farms that mass produce food with horrible pesticides. Plus, nothing is more satisfying than eating a fresh healthy meal you made from scratch (:

    I do make all my own baby food and only use organic produce for that , although the rest of the familydoesn’t always get organic – but I think it is so important for the baby.

  668. Jill C says:

    Due with baby #2 after 7 years and looking for ways to save money and give the baby the best and purest foods we can give her.
