Organic food is food that is grown naturally, without using any man-made chemicals or other ingredients. For example, pesticides and chemical fertilizers are often used in growing vegetables. Organic vegetables are grown without these elements. Organic meats come from animals that have not been given any man-made supplements.

Organic food is food that has been grown using as few chemicals and pesticides as possible. Ideally it has also been grown in the same area that it's being sold in. It is still important to clean off organic food before consuming it, as there are still germs on it.
