Global organic food additives market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period from 2019-2025 - Yahoo Finance

With all the things we should be worrying about during the COVID-19 pandemic social distancing, washing our hands, disinfecting our devices the last thing on our mind should be how we eat. But the now-viral photos of long lines and empty grocery store shelves has caused widespread panic across the world, as people rush to stockpile their pantries with canned foods and non-perishables to last them through the (uncertain) foreseeable future.

But to borrow a line from Taylor Swift: we need to calm down.

According to Amy Rosoff Davis, a certified trainer, nutritionist and wellness coach who works with Selena Gomez and Kristen Bell, among others, quantity is never better than quality. Just because people are scrambling to stock their pantries, doesnt always mean more is better, she says. You have to read labels and pick carefully. Theres a common misconception that any organic or non-perishable items are good, she continues, [but] just because something says organic doesnt mean its nutrient-dense and good for you.

Another argument against stockpiling food: many people wont actually eat what theyve hoarded.

Its a misconception that we must buy anything and everything we can lay our hands on, says Cassie Berger, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-founder of Pacific Nutrition Partners. If you buy foods you have never used before, you are less likely to make use of them. And, she adds, stocking up on foods you are not going to eat is taking those items away from families who actually use and need those items. If you dont like certain foods, now is definitely not the time to force yourself to eat them.

Fruits and vegetables with long shelf lives are ideal options to stock up on if theyre available. According to Berger, these include apples, oranges, citrus fruits, onions, garlic, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, cabbage and winter squashes. These are high-nutrient staples that make up the base of many great recipes, she says.

Consider freezing your produce too. Bananas can be frozen once they start to brown too much and then used in smoothies, Davis offers. Apples can be roasted with cinnamon and coconut oil and used on oatmeal or as a snack there are lots of ways to make fresh foods last.

If fresh food isnt an option, Davis says frozen fruits and vegetables can be just as good. Organic frozen fruits and veggies often have just as much, if not more, nutrition than fresh, because they are frozen at the height of their nutritional value, she explains. Many prefer (and are used to) the taste of fresh food, but when it comes to nutrition, frozen doesnt mean inferior.

If you are able to keep fresh foods in the house thats great, adds Berger, but frozen, canned and dry foods are all excellent options too and loaded with the nutrients we need to support a strong immune system.

One thing experts agree on is consistency, both in terms of establishing a daily meal routine, and seeking out healthy eating habits as well.

Just because you need to rely more on the pantry and freezer does not mean this is an excuse to load up on refined carbohydrates and highly-processed foods, cautions Brigid Titgemeier, a licensed dietician and an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. Its best to keep these out of sight [and] out of mind, especially since you will likely be spending more time at home and around your pantry.

So what canned foods and non-perishable items should you be stocking up on? Whether youre planning out your menu for the month, or just want something healthy to snack on, heres what experts recommend adding to your shopping list right now.

I personally stocked up on quinoa, oats, organic pasta (get rice pasta or any other varietal if you need gluten-free), chickpeas and lentils, says Davis. In terms of lentils, I got dried and like to cook them myself, but organic and canned is fine too, she says.

The lentils we found above are non-GMO, certified kosher and field-traceable each bag comes with a code you can enter on the companys website to identify the exact field the crop was grown in, and the harvest date.

The red quinoa above is certified organic and triple-washed to eliminate impurities. The quinoa is ready to serve right out of the bag. It also has a 24-month shelf life, making it great to stock up on.

Berger recommends buying canned fruits, vegetables, beans and tomato products, though she says jarred foods like marinara sauce, applesauce, vegetables and pickles are good too.

This apple and pear sauce above is made from organic biodynamic apples and pears, and contains no sweeteners, flavors or preservatives. The sauce is also GMO-free, certified Kosher and gluten-free. Its great as a snack (safe for kids!) and great to add to a smoothie too.

Courtesy Amazon

A good can of crushed or diced tomatoes goes a long way. Davis suggests using them for everything from soups and rice bowls, to chili and pasta sauces. Add some greens [to the sauce] for extra nutrition, she says.

Veggies (or fruit) plus a grain plus a protein is a simple way to make sure our plates are well-balanced and nutritious, Berger says, though the combination can come in whatever form you choose.

Courtesy Amazon

Berger suggests looking for canned beans, meats and fish, along with nuts and nut butters. Something like the organic almond butter above can be spread on crackers and fruit, or used in a smoothie. Each serving of the sprouted almond butter contains 6g of protein and 14g of healthy fats.

Davis, meantime, is a fan of wild caught tuna. The box below gets you four cans of Italian Ventresca (or Yellowfin tuna belly), lightly seasoned and then set in pure olive oil. Tuna is high in omega-3 and low in fat, making it a great substitute for red meat.

Some of the most nutrient-dense pantry staples include organic apple cider vinegar, jerky, ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil, says Titgemeier, who recommends taking an apple cider vinegar shot in the morning for an immunity boost.

ACV Shot 1 tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar 8oz of room temperature water Add lemon and/or honey

Courtesy Amazon

Another thing to stock up on: dried fruit and nuts. Dried fruit has lots of nutrients and is a great snack or addition to oatmeal and organic cereals, says Davis, and theyre especially great for children.

The 20-pack of dried fruit bars above contains four bars each of dried mangoes blueberries, strawberries, cherries and figs. The fruit bars are high in fiber, with no preservatives, and no added sugars. What we like: theyre individually-wrapped, so no worries about hands and fingers dipping into the same packaging.

Courtesy Amazon

Berger suggests stocking up on boxed items, like crackers, cereals, broth and stocks (for soups and stews). Look for bone broth if you can get it, adds Davis.

The bone broth mix above gets you 10g of protein per serving, is high in collagen and helps promote better digestion and immune function. The mix is non-GMO and gluten-free with no added flavoring, preservatives, artificial ingredients, or MSG. Stir into a soup, stew or saut, or add hot water for an instant healthy drink.

Courtesy Amazon

Other pantry essentials: if you drink non-dairy milk options, get boxed [versions], Davis says (the macadamia milk above has 50% more calcium than regular milk and doesnt need to be refrigerated until opened).

Teas are great too, she adds. Look for immune-boosting echinacea, or calming chamomile and mint.

Courtesy Amazon

Adds Berger: Dont forget to stock up on some pleasure foods as well. Chocolate, cookies, ice cream they are all good for the soul and there is value in that as well, she says.

Courtesy Amazon

As news and instructions continue to trickle in over how we should respond to the coronavirus pandemic, the best thing we can do for now, experts say, is to stay mindful and prepared. When it comes to food, that means ensuring that youre stocked up with essentials to keep you as healthy and active as possible. The one thing to avoid: Dont panic and dont over-buy, Davis says. Stress and anxiety lower your immune system and wont make this time go any faster. Know that this too shall pass and try and make the most of this time off from the daily grind.

Natural and Organic Food Market Growth by Top Companies, Trends by Types and Application, Forecast to 2026 - Bandera County Courier

Faced with months of crippling road-closing construction outside her five-year-old bakery in downtown Massillon last year, Jamie Anania decided to take a big plunge.

She used that downtime to convert her Sugar Mamas Bakery at 44 Lincoln Way E into The Root Vegan & GF Cafe, something shed long dreamed about. The cafe, like Ananias own diet, is 100% free of animal products and uses organic produce and non-GMO products.

Here, Anania talks about her food and why it is attracting lots of enthusiastic repeat customers.

Q. Are you surprised by the quick success of your cafe? A. I guess Im a little shocked. I didnt realize there were so many vegan people in Massillon and around this area. Saturdays are usually standing-room only. It was a huge gamble, but when the streets closed and our income went to nothing, I figured its either going to be this or Ill get a job at a factory.

Q. Having eaten at The Root and talked to some customers, it seems like the key is simply making vegan food taste good. A. Everyone always expects vegan to be crunchy, flavorless and kind of blah. I dont think you should have to sacrifice flavor for health when you can have the whole package. People eat with their eyes so it should be beautiful as well as taste good.

Q. You serve things like Reubens and sausage sandwiches that use jackfruit instead of meat. How do you make that work? A. What we do is mimic foods using plant-based options. The jackfruit is a big hit. I use it for turkey, I use it for chicken, I use it in the Reuben. Its very versatile, and like tofu, it will take on the flavors of whatever youre cooking it with. Our BBQ jackfruit wrap is extremely popular, which is a big ol tortilla wrapped with organic greens, sauteed peppers and onions, (dairy-free) cheddar cheese sauce and our homemade Southwestern avocado dressing.

Q. Many vegans seem to miss cheese the most of all. What can you tell me about yours? A. When you first start venturing into the non-dairy world, dairy-free cheese can turn people off real fast because thats their one vice. We kind of just ventured into using different products and altering our recipes to come up with the perfect creaminess of cheese without dairy, lactose and hormones. We make our loaded fries, chili fries and nachos with plant-based cheese sauce. Its a cleaner version of naughty food.

Q. Do you have non-vegan customers? A. Weve had quite a few people who are not vegan come in to try it out and they find out they dont miss meat. Some people are just trying to clean up their diet. Some people appreciate diversity in food.

(Beyond Pesticides, March 20, 2020) Support Organic Farmers as They Provide Nutrition that Heals

As we all heed calls for social distancing to avoid spread of COVID-19, elected officials are looking for ways to support those who are suffering from adverse economic impact. In doing this, it is especially important to focus on those organic family farmers who grow our food and have had their markets disrupted.

Tell Congress to Help Organic Farmers Hurt by the Pandemic

Congress has already passed an$8 billion response packageearlier this month andjust passedH.R. 6201, theFamilies First Coronavirus Response Act, providing additional appropriations to address testing, emergency nutrition assistance, temporary paid leave, and increased federal funding for unemployment insurance. Now a much bigger,trillion-dollar economic stimulus billis in the works.

Ideas for the trillion-dollar spending package are proliferating as fast as the virus. While direct payments to individuals have been mentioned, so have various subsidies to businesses. We need to warn politicians not toexploit the coronavirus pandemicto subsidize large corporations without protections for workers. Rather, our Representatives need to ensure that the money goes to help those who have been directly affected.

In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Representative Chellie Pingree detailed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on farmers in local and regional markets. Noting that trade mitigation payments have not benefited farmers who sell products through local and regional markets, Rep. Pingree urged Speaker Pelosi to take actions to support these farmers, including emergency disaster payments, emergency farm loans, and suspending FSA loan payments. We should provide emergency disaster payments to farmers selling fresh and minimally processed foods in local and regional markets that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,wrote Rep. Pingree.

Organic farmers are among these who have been hardest hit. When asked to provide ideas for how organic farmers could be helped, in addition to the recommendations of Rep. Pingree, many representing organic farmers offer these suggestions:

Tell Congress to Help Organic Farmers Hurt by the Pandemic

Letter to Congress

As we all heed calls for social distancing to avoid spread of COVID-19, we also see the need to support those organic family farmers who grow our food and have had their markets disrupted. Please ensure that the stimulus measures actually help those who need it.

Ideas for a trillion dollar spending package are proliferating as fast as the virus. While direct payments to individuals have been mentioned, so have various subsidies to businesses. Please avoid the temptation to exploit the coronavirus pandemic to subsidize large corporations without protections for workers. Rather, ensure that the money goes to help those who have been directly affected. Please put the money to work where it will help those who have been directly affected.

Organic farmers are among these who have been hardest hit. When asked to provide ideas for how organic farmers could be helped, in addition to the recommendations of Rep. Pingree, many representing organic farmers offer these suggestions:

* Ensure that farmers markets and farm stands have the same status as retail stores when it comes to social gathering and loss of income.

* Increase the federal cost share in organic certification, paid up front, and allow certifiers to waive fees until September.

* Help make connections with local farms when addressing food programs.

* Establish a program to provide relief workers to assist sick farmers.

* Disaster payments should cover both crops not harvested or sold, as well as those that can move to emergency food needs; organic is paid at the organic price.

* Allow SNAP payments to be made on-line directly to farms.

* Provide funds for farms quickly moving to set up on-farm stands, curbside pickup, and other direct to consumer no-touch distribution channels that minimize interaction as farmers markets may be limited, or even farmers feel unsafe selling at farmers markets.

I believe that these targeted suggestions will help all of us by helping farmers to provide the health-giving nutrition we need during these times.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tell Congress to Help Organic Farmers and Consumers Hurt by the Pandemic, Today! - Beyond Pesticides

The 7.5 million residents in the Dallas-Fort Worth area need grocery stores to survive.

The dominant players are Walmart, followed by Kroger, which combined account for 43 percent of the areas grocery spending, according to Metro Market Studies. Other leading players by store count include Tom Thumb, Target/SuperTarget, Aldi, Albertsons, Brookshire/Super 1, and Fiesta Mart. Warehouse membership stores Sams Club and Costco have a combined market share of 9.5 percent.

In an interview with Dallas News reporter, Oliver Wyman analyst Bobby Gibbs cited the high number of new residents moving into DFW area as making it a perfect test market. Operating costs are lower than in cities like New York and Philadelphia, and shoppers are more spread out.

All the same, the local $17.5 billion a year grocery business is brutally competitive. Walmart closed its West Wheatland store in Dallas, while Albertsons and Tom Thumb shuttered four underperforming locations in 2018. Because of declining sales, Brookshires closed its Denton location last summer.

Similar challenges exist in the organic sector. Natural Grocers, which currently operates 24 of its 100-percent organic produce markets in Texas, opened two new stores in the DFW area, one in Keller and the other in North Fort Worth. Even so, it has slowed store openings to improve profitability in existing stores.

The demand for organics hasnt really picked up that much in most areas of the country, says Juan Ibarra, CEO and president of Marengo Foods Company, LLC, BB #:260540 in Dallas. It seems to be more of a regional thing, heavily rooted in areas like California, the Northeast, and to a much lesser degree in Chicago.

Standing Out The intense competition, however, has its benefits, and one is innovation. Responding to customer demand, the Market Street supermarket chain, which operates 15 stores in the Metroplex area, now offers a tasting policy.

Store produce teams all carry utility knives, so they can cut into fruit and provide samples. The policy also applies to higher-end exotics, like dragon fruit and monk fruit, which are available for impromptu sampling.

New to the region are two Royal Blue Grocery stores, which set up shop in Dallas. One in the downtown area opened in the summer of 2018, and the other on the street level of the Trammel Crow Center in the fall of 2019. The chain is known for its convenience and prepared foods.

The ongoing growth of the Hispanic market led national retailer Albertsons to invest in El Rancho stores. Even with only 16 stores, the fresh produce-heavy chain is flourishing. A survey conducted by Rincon & Associates found El Rancho holds a 10.5 percent share of the Hispanic market, ahead of state-based H-E-B (at 8.1 percent) and Fiesta Mart (6.5 percent).

Last year, H-E-B (also known by its full name, H.E. Butt Grocery Company), headquartered in San Antonio, donated 1.5 million apples to various food banks throughout the Lone Star State, including the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas and the Tarrant Area Food Bank in Fort Worth. A dominant player in the supermarket scene, there are a few locations in North Texas, including Dallas, but none in Fort Worth (residents are hoping this will change).

For those seeking the latest iteration of the grocerant, a new Eataly is opening inside Dallas North Park Center Mall in 2020. The grocer, with its restaurant-in-store concept, will occupy three levels and offer tastings, classes, and an extensive array of Italian ingredients.

Lidl, the German grocer is also eyeing the area for one of its stores.

This is a multi-part feature adapted from the Texas Supplement with the March/April 2020 issue of Produce Blueprints.
