Does anyone have opinions on "Purity Farms" organic grass fed ghee? And in comparison to Ancient Organics?Are they just grass fed, or is grain added ?

Ancient Organics Ghee is 100% California sourced, produced and owned. They have absolutely no connection to the UAE whatsoever. I have personally visited the Straus creamery and I know they feed their cows grass or grass silage year round.

I noticed that too, but the main reason I buy this product is because it is unbromated, unbleached, fresh and high quality. Organic became buzz word just like "fat free", "all natural" or "star compliant", to the point I have seen bag of potatoes with label "fat free" affixed on it. (?hmmm). Wheat will not grow just from rain water - it needs fertilizer, hopefully natural one yet does not need deadly pesticides or being genetically enhanced like some grains. How about genetically altered soybean organic milk - yes it is all organic because no bug will even wants to seat on it now. Bottom like - beware of fine print and play of words as "natural flavoring" is actually one of approved names for MSG. To me the most important is that Bob's Red Mill offers fresh and natural grains. I purchase on regular basis sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and few other products from this company and so far never had any issues with quality, taste or freshness.

While it does imply organic and may well be organic, there are other factors to being 100% organic. The type of fertilizers used would be one factor. I purchase these raisins all the time and they are the best I have ever eaten. Whether they are organic (and it just cost to much to certify) or not organic, they certainly have a head start on those purchased in the supermarkets in that no pesticides are used on them. If you try them, you won't be disappointed. I have mine ordered on "subscribe and save".

I got my amalaki from Vadik Herbs, which says "wildcrafted" and "100% natural." Not sure if that is the same as organic, but I took "wildcrafted" to mean not cultivated or treated. Other than that, don't know.

I bought it because a wonderful book I have about digestive health said it was from grass fed animals. However, I checked the container and it does not say this anywhere on the can. It is the only gelatin that our health food store carries, so I assume it is the most natural around. Their website does not say "grass fed" either. Just looked.

Well it comes from cows that are grass fed, no pesticides or hormones are injected so in that sense iit is "organic". You can buy it either salted or salt free.

It says they are 100% pure shelled hemp seeds that are certified organic, kosher, non-gmo, gluten free and raw. It would be impossible to answer all your questions without being there in person. I personally trust that they are raw as advertised and feel they are a healthy alternative to other things we place into our bodies.

Ghee is clarified butter product. Generally made from RAW dairy....either goat or cow.

Hi there! We're obviously partial, but Source is Non-GMO Project Verified and American Humane Association certified while Raw is not. We also tell you where we get our whey (Northern California farms) while they are very vague. Finally, they're really not "raw," that's just a marketing tactic.

No it ain't just Ghee .I've bought Ghee this is different it's much more concentrated than ghee, and remember it's from pastured raised cows which is really the point.

From their site: "Purity Farms Ghee (Clarified Butter) is made from Grade AA Sweet Cream Certified Organic** butter."Package says it's "...from sweet cream butter from our pastured cows on our certified organic family farms." And package also says "USA farmed & manufactured":)

These are steel-cut 100% whole grain Irish oats. Nothing on the tin refers to them as being organically grown. Whether or not the oats are grown in fields where synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used, I have no idea. There are no additives, obviously, and I doubt the oats have been irradiated. You can contact McCann's at this address for more information: sturmfoods@bayvalley.epowercenterdirect.com. As an aside, my husband has hated oatmeal his entire life...until I fixed him a bowl of McCann's steel-cut oats. ;)

GMO is genetically modified and unrelated to inorganic materials like these cubes-but it does bring up a good point-i am pretty sure rock-wool cubes are not considered "organic" from the chemical content point of view. While Grodan cubes are the best quality and i believe free of anything hazzardous. Rock wool got a bad reputation from companies that used all manner of industrial waste in making insulation -nasty stuff. I consider myself organic as is practical for me, and trust Grodan for chemically inert grow medium. I start my lettuce in these in net pots, in hydroponic gardening.

According to their website, the butter they use is made from cows that are pasture-raised and organic. As far as why the ghee isn't labeled certified organic, I do not know.

Grass fed/organic = No, cold micro-filtered process = Yes. What is extremely disappointing about this product is that the cows are treated with growth hormones, so this is not rBGH free.

Great question....... Typically we try to go the "Organic" route on most of our foods as well.......but if you did your homework you will see the the gov't owns the rights to the term "organic" as far as store bought foods is concerned, so how honest are they really being is the question? Now, why I continue to buy this product is that fact that they are oats off of a non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) farm, which to me, goes farther than putting an "organic" label on something. Not sure I fully answered your question, but I am up to this point still a strong advocate of Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats. Especially good with Raw unpasteurized honey and raw/organic cinnamon!

Hi! On the package they said "USDA Organic" and that means that the product supposed to be GMO free. Also, the grain itself is rare, not that extensively used like soy beans for example. Usually they would modify (GMO) something more commonly used. I haven't even heard about modified Amaranth!
