We’ve been on a search to find organic produce! Turns out… it’s harder than we thought!
While we were working on a story to show you the best way to shop for organic foods, we discovered that a lot of the labels stores and markets use are misleading.
- “Locally grown”
- “All Natural”
- “Fresh Produce”
- “Homegrown”
They may be telling the truth. Some of their foods may indeed be locally grown. But what do you think that means? It doesn’t necessarily mean organic or non-GMO.
You can find out what kind of produce you’re buying by the PLU numbers on the produce, but not all produce is labeled since it’s legally not a requirement.
We’re on a search to figure out how to find the best, healthiest produce so we can all be more informed, educated shoppers!
If you have a tip, leave a comment! We’ll be back next week to share some of the process we’re going through.
