Stuck On You


I just read this in today's Ideal Bite and I had to share!

You know the little stickers you find on apples, oranges, lemons and jicama (just to name a few)? Well, it turns out produce producers are utilizing a standard system for identifying your juicy favorites. Look for these numbers and you'll know what you're feeding your body!

Look for the labels stuck on your fruits and veggies:
  • A four-digit number means it's conventionally grown.
  • A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it's organic.
  • A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it's Genetically Modified.
