Organic or Conventionally Grown

How can you tell the different between Organic and conventional grown veggies/fruit? Glad you asked. If you notice, all veggies/fruit have a PLU sticker on them. The sticker has a number that identifies how the veggies/fruit were grown. Most veggies/fruit in the local market have 4 digit numbers that start with a letter 3 or 4; this means that the veggies/fruit were conventional grown and sprayed with pesticides and wax was add to make the fruit look good. Organic fruits/veggies begin with a 9 and has 5 digits number. The fruit also looks dull. So next time you go to your local grocery check the sticker.

Interesting.... I loathe conventionally grown grapes! But hate how quickly organic strawberries go bad
