Quick tip that I want to share with everyone, that I just find out.
When you buy your fruits and veggies at supermarket, they always have this little sticker with numbers on it. Do you know what it means?
Produce that comes from organic farms, have a sticker with five numbers long and always starts with number 9.
(See the pictures)
Produce that been treated with pesticides, have stickers with four number long, and always stars with number 4.
(Sorry, I don’t have non-organic fruits at home to snap a picture of it)
Next time you go to supermarket, pay attention to it and you will see.
Have a great fruit and veggie shopping!
Love, Val
