Have you found Out How Great Organic coffee is?

This is my attempt to tidy up a bit on the USDA certified organic products, especieally my favorite organic coffee. 

1) No components or synthetic pesticides are allowed to be used to grow certified organic crops. 

2) No genetically modified plants or creatures that can be used in certified organic products. 

3) To be labeled 100% organic products must contain only organic ingredients (excluding water and salt). 

4) Food labeled organic must contain at least 95% certified organic ingredients, and the remaining 5% shall be available otherwise not available in an organic counterpart. 

5) The USDA organic logo is allowed to be displayed on a 100% organic or "Organic" section. 

6) Agricultural products labeled "100 percent organic" and "organic" can not be produced using prohibited methods, sewage sludge, or ionizing radiation. 

We try not to bore you with mindless organic labeling information, but you need to know what you are getting into with "organic" products. we know you may be wondering when we will come to organic coffee, here we go. Looking back at the previously mentioned definition of "certified organic" we know that organic coffee must contain at least 95% organic components. 

Want to know why you might want to care if your coffee is organic?

1) Not withstanding what you think about conventional farming methods, one can imagine, consumer non-organic coffee treated with sludge? 

2) There is the whole Frankenstein gene thing. We do not want my morning fix having Flipper genes spliced in as the beans may have less bitterness. 

3) If you imbibe decaffeinated coffee, this is where it is vital that you eat only organic coffee. Regular coffee use nasty substances like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate to treat coffee. Organic decaf coffee is treated with hot water and no chemicals. There is epidemiological evidence that imbibing conventional decaffeinated. is associated with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis. 

 4) It is not only consumers that chemicals are bad, but thinking about the poor coffee farmers. A good number of coffee producers in the 3rd world countries are not able to read very well, which can result in improper mixing of chemicals and lack of protective clothing. 

We could walk on why you should only buy organic coffee. It goes far beyond the coffee itself. A lot of toxins are released in the manufacture of non-organic chemicals. 

Finally, one must consider the perfect love and attention that comes from growing coffee organically. Farmers inspect and care for their crops, resulting in mature coffee beans. It is never too late to start drinking organic coffee. So give it a try, you may be surprised.
