The organic difference

Organic foods are a healthier choice compared to their conventional counterparts because they follow a strict set of agricultural guidelines and standards. This includes avoiding the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, antibiotics and genetically modified ingredients.

Organic items are also produced in a way that helps preserve the environment and natural resources through more sustainable farming practices, helping improve our soil, air and water quality. In order to carry the USDA Certified Organic seal, farmers, ranchers and food processors must go through a thorough verification process by a USDA-accredited certification agency.

Making the switch

Since many of your grocery-list favorites and exciting new items are available in organic at Sprouts, it’s easier than ever to make the switch. Next time you make your shopping list, simply swap your staples with organics items. Are eggs, coffee and bread always on your list? Start there! As you shop for more and more organic groceries each week, eventually your refrigerator and pantry will be stocked with plenty of organic staples you and your family can feel good about.

Here are a few reasons to shop organic:

• Organic fruit and vegetables may contain higher nutritional values than conventional ones.
• Shopping organic goods can reduce your exposure to synthetic pesticides, antibiotics and GMOs.
• Organic farms can help preserve water and soil resources.
• Organic products help promote earth-friendly and sustainable farming practices.
