EZ Step Products - PLU Codes & Gardening Hack

Very Important to Understand PLU Codes

The 4 and 5 digit codes on fruits and vegetables in stores are called "PLU codes" (Price Look-up codes) and they primarily serve to identify the specific type of produce, its size, and most importantly, whether it was grown conventionally (4-digit code) or organically (5-digit code starting with a '9').

4-digit codes: These are for conventionally grown produce with chemicals (4011 for a regular banana, 4012 for a conventional carrot).

5-digit codes starting with "9": These represent organic produce (94011 for an organic banana, 94012 for an organic carrot).

5-digit codes starting with "8": These are for genetically modified (GMO) produce. An example could be 84011 for a GMO banana.

Remember, conventionally grown produce uses 4 digits, organic uses 5 digits starting with "9" and GMO produce is typically marked with a 5-digit code starting with "8."

Remember to wash your hands when handling these types of fruits & vegetables so it will not absorb into your skin.

🌱 EZ Hack to Grow the Best Plants

  • 1 Add one heaping handful of heat-treated turkey pellet manure to the planting hole.
  • 2 Sprinkle used coffee grounds around the plant.
  • 3 Eggshells – natural calcium
    Prepare eggshell powder:
🔸 Preheat oven to 350°
🔸 Place clean eggshells on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
🔸 Let cool completely.
🔸 Place shells in a zip-top bag and crush.
🔸 Grind into a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
🔸 Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the powder around the plant.
  • 4 Add one handful of Epsom salt.
    I prefer to layer each ingredient, covering it with a thin layer of soil before adding the next.
    After planting the seedling, leave a slight depression (a small watering well) around the base of the plant to help retain water.
