Really Good Information

Choosing produce that’s never been sprayed/treated/cleaned with chemicals is one of the most important things you can do for your family’s health. When fruits and vegetables are grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides, they hold onto more of the beneficial nutrients and have none of the harmful residues that can linger on conventionally grown produce. This means you’re feeding your family food that’s truly clean, fresh, and nourishing from the inside out. It’s gentler on growing bodies, better for developing, building, and maintaining immune systems, greatly contributes to the prevention of diseases -- simply put, it's safer for everyone around your table.

Contrary to popular belief, commercial vegetable and fruit growers in Japan widely use pesticides and herbicides -- in fact, usage is often described as significant and high intensity.

Even those ready-to-eat leafy vegetables purchased in stores generally contain higher levels of pesticide residues and potential trace amounts of disinfection byproducts from cleaning agents -- like bleach -- compared to homegrown leafy vegetables, which ideally contain none.

For better health, choose homegrown or organic-grown fruits and vegetables.
