Something interesting I read recently. I don't remember where. Maybe in a food magazine or a newspaper article where it describes how to read the PLU (price look-up) numbers on fruits and veggies. I've only been aware of these numbers since we began doing self checkout at our local Safeway (chain grocery store) in San Francisco. When you type in the number on the sticker, say on Banana's, you see a number that will say #4011 or something like that.
When a number begins with a 3 or 4, those are conventionally grown produce.
When a number begins with a 9, that usually means it is organically grown.
When a number begins with an 8, those are genetically altered produced.
How interesting eh? now I'm going to pay closer attention to those fruits & veggies that I buy.
