Question: What do those numerical code stickers on produce mean?


Answer: These 4- or 5-digit numbers are PLU (Price Look Up) codes, which identify attri­butes of fresh fruits and vegetables, including their variety, size, and how they were grown.

Keep your eye out for 5-digit codes beginning with 9, those indicate organically grown produce.

Pro Tip


When you bring Groceries Home from the store or produce in from the garden, wash and prep them for consumption before they ever go into the fridge and store them at eye height in a clear storage container like a glass mason jar or stasher bag. You are more likely to not waste food this way.

Whenever possible buy organic, from a local farmer or even better grow yourself. If buying, remember to buy bulk items when available and bring your own glass or reusable containers, they will tare (aka weigh the jar/container so you don’t pay extra weight cost associated to the commodity you are buying).

Simply write the weight on the bottom of the jar so they know what to subtract at checkout. 

Avoid plastic produce bags, instead grab a few of those mini paper bags to the checkout bagging area or bring your own reusable product bags from home. And remember a reusable bag or basket to put all your nutritious yummy items in.
