September doesn’t just bring cooler temperatures and fall foliage: it’s also Organic Month! This annual month-long celebration raises awareness and highlights the advantages of choosing organic products. Jedwards International is a proud supplier of a wide selection of USDA organic certified plant-based oils, oleochemicals, coffee, chocolate, and sweeteners.
What makes a product organic? It must adhere to a specific set of standards. For produce, the land it grows on must be free of certain substances; pests and other detrimental factors for crops must be controlled with certain practices or with an approved substance, and there must be no genetic engineering or sewage sludge usage. Since organic farming avoids the use of many synthetic materials, organic products are desired by many consumers looking to reduce their exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
Organic farming is also considered to be more sustainable. It promotes the health of soil with techniques such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting, which can improve soil fertility. Use of renewable resources and the lack of polluted runoff helps local biodiversity and contributes to a healthier ecosystem. The organic movement began in the 1940s but has recently experienced a resurgence. Organic sales have greatly increased in the past decade and are only continuing to grow.
Ingredients for food and beverage formulation are among the most sought-after materials when it comes to organic buying. USDA certified plant oils like avocado, olive, and coconut oil are highly popular due to their versatility. Not only can they be used for dressings, dips, and as a cooking oil, but they are popular for hair and skincare.
Coffee and chocolate are luxurious staples—for many people, hard to live without! Many of the items in our selection of organic coffee, chocolate chips, and cocoa butter are also fair trade certified, offering even more sustainability and support to certain communities in your purchase.
If you’re looking for something sweet, our organic sweetener catalog has everything you need. Whether it’s plain old sugar, agave nectar, or an alternative sweetener like erythritol—Jedwards has you covered.
People aren’t just mindful of the food they eat; they’re considering what they put on their body, Jedwards carries a wide swath of organic essential oils, extracts, and oleochemicals for cosmetic formulations.
