Read numbers on your fruits!
Thursday, July 17, 2008
Another interesting email I'd like to share
This was real enlightening for me (or maybe I'm just this ignorant?)
So just in case you guys also never know about it... am sharing it here.
The NUMBERS on the sticker labels on fruits we buy in the market actually tell us how the fruits were grown.
The fruits are either;
1) Organically grown,
2) Conventionally grown - with pesticides and herbicides, or
3) Genetically engineered fruits (beats me what this means. Somebody explain?)
How to tell the difference from the numbers?
1) Organically grown - the numbers have five digits and starts with the number 9 eg: 99225
2) Conventionally grown - have four digits only, never starts with '9' and mostly starts with the number 4 eg: 4922
3) Genetically Modified fruits (GMO) - numbers start with the digit 8 eg: 89222
The safest fruit to eat is of course the organically grown
. Try to avoid buying the conventionally & genetically modified ones!
