June Healthy Tip

As a general rule, those stickers on your fruits and veggies can give you some information on how your food was grown.  PLU stickers have 3 types of codes.  Codes are 5 digits but the leading zero is often dropped.  The zero indicates produce that is conventionally raised (eg. 4011 banana).  A 9 indicates organic (eg. 94011 organic banana).  An 8 indicates genetically modified (84011 GM banana).  Choose wisely!
