It is called organic, the products or animals that come from growing or breeding where any artificial pesticide or fertilizer, hormones, anabolic steroid, nor antibiotic have been used. The organic food has been grown in safe and healthy soil using natural fertilizers free of synthetic pesticides or additives. Organic production avoid genetically modified ingredients. When we are talking of organic production, it means that the product does not include any kind of transgenic (genetic handling) is accepted .

When processing organic foods, no synthetic/artificial additives or preservatives are used. Instead of that, natural resources has been optimized: the soil (fertilized with natural methods), the air, the water and the sun and different kind of population of living creatures are being protected. On the contrary, pesticides kill indiscriminately, killing pests along with their natural insect predators.

Today, it is promoted the use and recovery of Creole variety. The food is made using natural ingredients and with processes that do not alter its nourishing quality.

The terminus "organico" comes from the English word "organic" and was first used by a British farmer in the 1950s. In Europe, the organic food is also called "biological food", "bio" or "ecologic".
