"Organic" fruit at BigC?


Lorry

Recommended Posts

With all the publicity, grapes are sold out.

BigC sells stuff from the King's project, I did believe them, and it probably is impossible to get them independently tested. 

They also sell stuff from npfood.com, a very secretive company from Ladkrabang, all-English. Seems not trustworthy to me.

 

Any trusted way to get organic food?

Growing my own stuff is a bit difficult here in central Bangkok.

Thanks for the answers,  both of you, but you only confirm my problem. 

Yes, I avoid fruit and vegetables from temperate climates,  like apples or grapes, because it will be from China.

But you cannot live from durian alone...:biggrin:

In Thailand... doubtful.

It reminds me of the tomatoes in this country.

What a horrible mess they are, they look like apples, they are so hard,a ripe tomato should be soft and I don't understand it, there is enough sun, isn't there?

Why are there no decent tomatos in this country?

Edit: and yes I try to growing this by myself, but so far I have not succeeded.

I buy beef tomatoes on the vine. I know it sounds poncey but they look attractive and the flesh is juicy and soft. Er, sorry, wrong thread....

The term "organic" is a complete misnomer. All fruit is organic.

 

The correct term is pesticide/ herbicide free.

 

Herbicides and pesticides are very complex compounds. They require sophisticated sample preparation and analytical equipment.

 

I don't know if there is a laboratory in Thailand capable of analysis. It is a highly specialized field.

I totally get where you’re coming from—finding real organic food can be a bit of a headache. Personally, I’ve had better luck going to farmer’s markets or checking out local stores like Lemon Farm. They’re usually more transparent about where their stuff comes from, and sometimes you can even visit the farms if you’re curious. It just feels more reliable to me, especially since you can actually ask the sellers about their farming practices instead of just relying on labels.
