The organic foods market is constantly growing. In the last decade it has more than doubled in value and is now worth an estimated $70 billion. The organic market is also predicted to grow by 3% annually, well above the rate of conventional foods, which are expected to grow at only 2%.

What is Organic and Synthetic?

Organic foods are trending, but what do they really mean? It’s important to know the difference between organic and natural, because you may be paying for a label that doesn’t actually mean anything.

Organic foods are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, and can only be processed in facilities that don’t use conventional methods.

Be a Meticulous Buyer

Natural foods don’t have any additives or processing techniques. However, this label isn’t regulated at all, so food manufacturers can slap it on any old product.
