Since you’re interested in PLU codes, I wanted to tell you about a flash card deck I. It has 600 items with photos (and growing).

1. Go to http://ankisrs.net/ and download and install the flashcard program.
2. Go to File->Download->Shared Deck
3. Type “PLU code” in the search field. Highlight the deck and click ok.

It’s about 10meg and takes a minute to download. Be sure to read the overview on the download page.

The next version of Anki is supposed to make it easier to link to a deck (without the cumbersome install instructions). The configuration items in the overview page are supposed to be less tedious. And, there will be a facility to make collaboration possible (commenting on a deck, suggesting additional information, corrections, etc.).

Hey there,

The homli fruit is a crossbreed of a Duncan grapefruit and a King orange. It was developed by a Scottish-American furniture family (the Gordon’s). I’ve never tried one, but I’d love to!

Did you know that you can also tell certain things from a PLU code, such as . . .

if it has a 9 in front of the number it is organic

Example:

Conventional* Cox Orange Pippin Apple (4105)
Organic Cox Orange Pippin Apple (94105)

if it has an 8, it is genetically modified

Here’s a link for further reading . . .

*Conventional is the term for Non-Organic
