So, you’re wheeling a half-full trolley down one of the aisles in your friendly neighborhood supermarket when you happen to spot the ‘Organic’ section.
You’ve been hearing and reading a lot lately about the merits of organic food. A few Home Chefs you follow have been instagramming about it. Some friends from yoga class have been quietly pointing you in that direction. And very recently, an office colleague treated the entire team to organic ice cream. You picked the mango-and-avocado flavor, and it was delicious.
Decision made! You turn your trolley around and enter the section.
Well, congratulations! You’ve taken that first, decisive step towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
But here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for organic products*:
1. Always look for the Organic Certification on the product label.
2. Also, watch out for the following classifications, so you can correctly identify food items that are truly organically produced.
i. 100% organic: It means that the product is made entirely from organic ingredients.
ii. Organic: At least 95% of the ingredients in the product are organic.
iii. Made with organic ingredients: At least 70% of the ingredients in the product are organic.
Happy shopping! And keep watching this space for more.
