Fruit labels

I am a supporter of buying organic. To that end I have spent some time researching how we, as consumers, can determine what we are purchasing.

There is a PLU labeling system for fruit that is helpful. If you would like to learn more log on to: http://www.naturalnews.com/.

The one piece of information I use daily is this.

Numbers starting with 9 are organic. This will always be my personal preference.

Numbers starting with 8 are genetically modified. I will not purchase those.

Numbers starting with 4 indicate conventional.

There are other web sites out there so if you want to know more just do a google search on fruit labels.
