The Organic Difference

Higher Quality
Products such as First Organics that bear the USDA Organic logo must be produced according to a set of strictly enforced rules to ensure you are getting the best that nature has to offer. Each step of the process in producing a certified organic product is monitored and regulated by certifying agencies working for the United States Department of Agriculture. These agencies certify the farms where the ingredients are grown, monitoring the history of the soil and the water, as well as ensuring purity of seeds to be non-genetically altered. The agents also check to ensure only natural fertilizers and natural methods of pest control are used on these farms.

Better Nutrition
In addition to these standards, scientists also now recognize that organic fruits and vegetables may contain higher levels of nutrients, as well as some nutrients non-organic products may be lacking. This includes not only vitamins and minerals, but also phytonutrients. Thus, the certified organic seal means you not only avoid harmful chemicals and genetically modified organisms, but that you also consume products with higher levels of nutrients.
