Have you ever wondered if the numbers on those little stickers on the produce that we buy has any significance? I read something recently that helped me understand what all those numbers mean.
All conventionally grown produce contain 4 numbers
If it is organic, the code contains 5 numbers and begin with a 9
If the produce is Genetically modified, the code also contains 5 numbers but it begins with an 8.
Examples:
Conventionally grown Banana: 4011
Organic Banana: 94011
Genetically Modified (yuck ) banana: 84011
Good to stay informed about what you are buying out there. I always try and suggest organic if available and the price is right. I don't like the word Genetically modified at all...but it is happening more and more. I want to eat real food, not something that someone changed or is trying to make into a food...
Energizing Soy protein from Shaklee is made from a non-GNO soy...and I love that. Great shake in the morning as well as protein powder for those yummy peanut butter balls.
Stay healthy everyone.
