Top 5 Organic Apple Sauces: Eden Organic Apple Sauce

The apples in Eden Organic Apple Sauce are organically grown on family-owned orchards on the shores of the Great Lakes, one of the best tree fruit growing locations in the world.

The sauce is made using traditional methods: Apples are hand sorted, washed, peeled, cored and put through a mill where they are sliced and chopped. Next they are transferred to a stainless steel, steam injection cooker where they are cooked into a thick sauce. The sauce is then strained and packed into glass jars. Organic Apple Sauce is simply organically grown apples, that’s it, just apples.

But why go organic in the first place? The USDA has identified 35 insecticides, fungicides, and weed killers sprayed on apples, even though the Environmental Protection Agency considers them hazardous. Tests by the Environmental Working Group show that these chemicals do show up in supermarkets, so it is especially important to choose an organic apple you can trust.
