While all nuts are “organic” in the sense they are grown, not synthesized, only those that meet certain criteria are considered organic in the eyes of food regulators. To them, organic nuts are not genetically modified (GM) and are grown without synthetic chemicals in fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has strict standards for organic nuts, such as not including artificial preservatives, flavors, colors, or synthetic fertilizers.
The growers of organic nuts are constrained regarding their cultivation choices. To qualify as organic according to the USDA, the land used must not have been treated with banned chemicals or other substances for three years before cultivation. Once harvested, organic nuts are handled separately from non-organic products to avoid contamination. Organic nut growers use natural pest controls instead of synthetic sprays or treatments, which some studies suggest give them higher antioxidant levels than non-organic nuts.
