Organic corn is corn grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Instead, it relies on natural farming practices, such as crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control, to maintain soil health and reduce the environmental impact. Organic certification ensures the corn is grown in compliance with strict standards set by organizations like the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
Organic corn is often used in various food products, such as cornmeal, popcorn, tortillas, and corn syrup, and is preferred by those looking for healthier, more sustainable options. It's also used in animal feed for organic livestock.
