Some stores have a dedicated organic section. Others mix the organic produce in wth the regular produce and mark the organic produce with green or yellow signs, when they remember to use a colored sign. However, if you know a little number trick, you don’t have to rely on the colored signs to tell you if the produce is organic or not.
Most produce has a 4 digit code, but organic produce has 5 digits. The first number on organic produce is always 9. So, look at the code on the package or sticker. If it is 5 digits and begins with a 9, it is organic.

Great tip! I didn’t know that, I usually rely on their signs as they tend to section organic off from the others.
Have a great day!!

You know what I thought of when I read your post title? Some crazy test … like if it cuts glass, it’s a real diamond; or if you rub the pearls against your teeth and they’re rough, then they’re … hmmm, does rough mean real or fake?
I thought maybe you were going to suggest taking a bite out of it! ha! “The Organic Taste Test.” Your number method is much more reliable, and socially acceptable.
