How Do I Know This Is Genuinely Organic?

NPOP certification, FSSAI licence (#11219322000392), farm-level traceability at trust.organicmandya.com. Organic produce may have natural imperfections (slight colour variation, minor blemishes, non-uniform sizing) that are proof of chemical-free growing. Perfectly uniform, blemish-free produce is often the result of chemical interventions, not natural farming.
