Organic Produce

The organic category is growing, there’s no doubt about that.

But unless you’re a natural foods grocer or have a high-volume turnover in organics, you can’t carry organic everything. The higher price point on organics makes them a bigger investment for both you and the consumer. Knowing what the big sellers are in organics can help make the decision of which commodities to invest in easier.

Recent data from Fresh Look Marketing shows that there are definitely a few big items that make sense for everyone to put on their shelves, no matter the size of your store or market.

Those include salad mixes, which make up 10.7% of organic produce category sales. Salad mixes are the biggest selling organic item.
