Are these grape leaves cultivated with or without pesticides? Grapes are usually highly sprayed with pesticides, so please be honest!

There is no way I would know for certain. My recommendation to everyone is to contact the manufacturer. I do know that the process of preparing grape leaves includes washing, rinsing, and boiling.

Sorry but I don't have that information, all I know is they are super tasty, that is why I buy them maybe that question would be better directed at the company that makes/sells them.

I didn't intentionally spray the backs of the leaves. I got fruit from the plants, I think just as much as I got the year before, on plants I didn't have to spray.

Probably. This isn't a spray anyway. It's meant to selectively kill vines etc. on which you dab the poison using the little dabber that is part of the cap. Because of the possibility of "drift" you shouldn't spray herbicides b/c the stuff could land on plants you don't want killed. You should seriously consider less drastic measures as sprays can be very harmful to the environment. I would start by cutting the vines off at the base or as close to the ground as you can. Pull off the vines--take out all your aggressions on those stupid weeds. It's very therapeutic! If you can find where the vine is coming out of the ground try digging it out. If you can't, then carefully "paint" the remaining stem with Stump-Out. It might take more than one application. I have bind weed on my property. It has a tap root to hell. The only way I can control it is to keep cutting it back a couple times a year and make sure I prevent it from setting seed. I have been gardening for over 50 years and the longer I do, the more convinced I am that it is important not to spray herbicides or pesticides. Hope I have helped you.

I spray veg and fruits with a light mist of CHICO WASH - an organic food wash that kills bacteria and viruses and since one of the ingrediaents is ascorbic acid -- they hold their color. This works GREAT for me. I have 3 of them -- tomatoes, grapes, apples, peaches -- all have turned out Great. Dennis

I think not, but can't say for sure. A lot of farmers in that area (I used to live in Oregon / Washinton) will not pay the large fees necessary to be certified organic but still grow that way. At the markets they post a "no spray" sign to get around it. Also, many of the sprays that are cleared for use for organic farmers are far more toxic than people realize. Their grains and beans are the finest tasting I've ever purchases and I've been doing organic for over 30 years. Heavily sprayed crops lack flavor.

Directly on them. I did not spray it on parts I planned to eat. With Swiss chard, I would spray it on some of the older leaves. I must ell you that after a while it did not work. I sprayed it on my newly planted apple trees. One day I looked the day after I had sprayed and saw that they had eaten the sprayed leaves. Did work for a while. Smells terrible.

Wish I could help you about growing inside. I planted mine outside, in the sun. They create a vine, just like regular cucumbers. But they are burpless and taste like you've sprinkled them with lemon juice. I'd certainly try it.

I mix with water and use some surfactant. I got a good looking result on autumn olive, blackberry vines, sericia lespedza(not sure of spelling) and bicolor lespedeza as well as any other broad leaf weeds. Hopes this helps. I sprayed last week.

I am no expert on the chemistry of pesticides but I know that ozone is a form of energy that reacts with anything that is positively charged. If the pesticide has a positive charge it will be oxidise if not it will remain. Most pesticides and pathogenic organisms from what I know are positively charged. Take a romaine that looks like it's past it's prime and after ozone was applied it was totally fresh.

I couldn't tell you about pesticides used, but in general, rice does not absorb pesticides except arsenic, which is found naturally in the soil. Rice grown in the southern united states is often grown in soil where cotton used to be grown. Heavy amounts of arsenic were used as a pesticide for cotton which remains in the soil. That is not the case for Indian rice. Anything sprayed directly on any white rice such as this rice would be 100% removed in the milling process which grinds off the outer layer of the rice kernel. Basmati rice naturally has a strong "chemical" smell, the stronger the smell, the fresher it is.

To be described as "culinary" roses or rose essence (such as that sold by Sur La Table) must come from plants that are pesticide free. If you have doubts about this point, please contact the seller for a more detailed statement. Regards.

I did some research and couldn't find anything regarding contamination at the farm the leaves are gown on. The seller details states that the leaves are grown on Nagata Farm, I did find this, maybe it will help. http://www.teamuse.com/article_110701.html

No. The insecticide is drawn up from the roots to the entire plant. That is what will kill the insects on the leaves and in the dirt. It works great on house plants though.

RAW organic rolling papers are made from "organically grown chlorine free pure hemp", which means pesticides and toxic non-natural fertilizers are not used in the process. Not only does it help ensure chemicals and other additives aren't messing with the strain's taste and smell, but I don't need to be burning these types of substances and welcoming them into my body. These papers are also non-GMO and vegan, even the glue that seals the joint.

FruitsMax doesn't contain pesticides and it is preservative free. The reason we are able to have 2 years of shelf life without using preservatives is because Lyophilization technology enables us to extract the water out of fruits leaving the nutrients untouched. And since there is a "no water" environment in the tablets they don't get spoiled and the harmful bacteria can't be developed. Therefore there is no need to fight them with preservatives.

I don't know, but I've grown flax and I don't think there is much need for pesticide.
