A common problem with vegetables involves possible insect infestation. The prohibition against consuming insects is an Issur d'Oraisa. So strict is this prohibition, it is mentioned five times in the Torah.
Unfortunately, in recent years, due to federal regulations and genetic changes caused by insecticides, there are increasing amounts of insects such as thrips and aphids infesting some vegetables, especially green and leafy varieties. Obviously, many vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains must be checked before cooking or eating for the presence of small insects.
Kosher Crops takes the guesswork out of kosher produce consumption. Kosher Crops sources fresh, grade-A quality produce that is either traditionally farmed or organically grown. Our well trained staff and certified mashgichim ultra wash the produce using the highest standards of kashruth by incorporating the most thorough and comprehensive methods for cleaning and checking greens. We do NOT rely on industry standard triple washing techniques or other leniences. Rather, our team, which is under strict Rabbinic supervision, ensures your produce is halachically insect free and perfectly kosher.
Kosher Crops also sources vertically farmed, green house produce that are designed to grow insect free. Although most of the farms we buy from are certified by respectable Kashrut agencies, the farms do not have a mashgiach tamid on site and rely on chazaka for certification. At Kosher Crops we inspect every batch of green house produce to confirm the produce is free of infestation.
Kosher Crops is certified by Star-K and Keystone-K.
