About Organic Produce
Strawberries are No.1 in pesticide usage and residual.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has released its annual “Dirty Dozen” list, ranking the pesticide residue levels of fruits and vegetables. This year, strawberries held onto the number one spot for having the highest traces of pesticides. (Source Consumer Affairs )
What About Organic Strawberries?
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet, so the EWG doesn’t want the Dirty Dozen list to scare people away from produce. The organization recommends that shoppers opt for organic versions of the foods—like strawberries—on the list.

Imported Organic Label
No strawberry smell or taste. Pithy inside.
They look good on the outside. But hard on the inside to avoid long distance shipping damage.
Basic Concept and Definition
Organic is a label that indicates that a food or agricultural product has been produced according to the USDA organic standards, which require operations to use practices that cycle resources, conserve biodiversity, and preserve ecological balance. The USDA’s National Organic Program develops and enforces the standards for organic crops, livestock, and agricultural products so consumers can feel confident purchasing organic goods.
The organic standards set specific requirements for different types of products. The following list provides an overview of requirements for different types of organic products.
