organic produce
Naturally grown food
Organic produce refers to fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods grown without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms.
The term implies farming methods that work with natural systems rather than against them.
Organic certification requires meeting government standards, though what qualifies varies by country.
The organic produce section has gotten bigger every year.
