Have you ever wondered if the food your eating is real or not? Well this how you tell;its called PLU Codes. The next time you go shopping pay attention to the little sticker on the veggies and fruits.
The coding consists of 4-5 digit numbers starting with 3,4, or 5.

Numbers starting with:
9- organic
4- conventionally grown (added pesticides,chemical fertilizer etc.)
3- Hybrid (fake)
Shocker right? Even when I go to the Farmers Market I watch for these stickers. To my surprise I still found conventionally grown veggies there therefore be mindful people.
