Sharing some important numbers here with all. Not 4D numbers of course but these numbers will come in handy when you next shop for fruits. If you've ever wondered what those numbers on the fruit sticker label means, here's what it means...
The numbers on the sticker labels carry information of how the fruits were grown, ie whether they were organically grown, conventionally grown with pesticides and herbicides or genetically modified. You've got to know this, for the supermarket folks won't share this with you.
Conventional Fruit Labels - consists of 4 digits and does not start with 9. Most of the conventionally grown fruits have labels starting with the digit 4. I see this very often in Fairprice supermarkets, especially with apples.
Organic Fruit Labels - consists of 5 digits and starts with the number 9.
Genetically Modified Fruits - This is a must-know for all. It starts with the digit 8.
The next time you see some extraordinary huge grapes, make sure you read the label before you buy it :)
