I often wonder how do we know that the organic fruits and veggie that we buy are indeed genuinely organically grown. Most of these so-called organic veggie bought from the market are wrapped in plain transparent plastic wrappers, devoid of any certification or details of the produce, eg place of origin and Body certifying that they are organic. These so-called organic fruits and veggie cost double the price of non-organic produce. Moreover, the leaves of these veggie are devoid of ‘worm bitten holes’. Obviously, veggie that are organically farmed would have been eaten by insects, worms and bugs right? These fruits and veggie look 100% the same as non-organic ones – fresh, nice and no holes on them.
These are just some of the organic veggie that I bought from the night market yesterday. We spent RM40 on carrots, tomatoes, 1 small size pumpkin, 2 beet roots, 1 head of brocolli and 1 packet of mustard green (sawi). Cut throat price eh? Maybe I should just switch back to non-organic veggie since I don’t get assurance that these produce are 100% organic.
