How do we know these are really organic?

You don't. You can only hope that the Organic certification actually does mean something. OR as Ruth L. answered, forage for your own in the wild! I am happy with my purchase though.

Short of forensic testing, there is no way to tell. i bought them to use in a cold/flu remedy. They served purpose I bought them for.

To obtain a USDA organic certification, there is a super rigorous process that farms put themselves through to comply, which includes ensuring that for 3+ years, there are no pesticides or residues of pesticides in the soil..and that is before you start growing crops there. Here's a link re: what farms have to do to obtain and comply with ongoing certification testing..http://organic.about.com/od/TransitioningtoOrganic/bb/Transition-To-Organic.htm

There really isn't a way to tell if ANYTHING that is called organic is indeed organic. These are certified though, so they likely are. The lady that runs Frontier herbs seems like an honest, good person, so I'll take those odds! The alternative is to forage your own in the wilderness.

Not sure if it's organic. I'm going to say no, but not 100% sure. Google it.

As you say, it does not say it is organic on the product. It only says that it is 100% pure.

It's been a long time since I ordered them. If they say organic that usually means they are.

There's no mention of "organic" on the label so chances are it is not. However, there is a web address for the manufacturer:www.zinkeorchards.com.

I just double checked the package and NO WHERE does it say organic. I have to assume then that it is just natural.

I believe they are organic: very fresh appearance with pleasant natural smell, much better than another brand I bought before!

I really don't know. They are suppose to be biodegradable and eco-friendly.

My package came marked organic. I don't know why there would be another option, you may have to ask Amazon about that to see if there is a mislabeling.

Technically an organic product is only proven to be organic if it has been labeled with the USDA label. So these may advertise as organic, but without the USDA certification you can't really be sure.

I looked on the package, and it doesn't say anywhere that they are organic. That makes me think that they probably aren't. I wish they were. They are great plants though, I am loving mine!

Technically, all milk is organic. Unless it's synthetic, which I don't believe has been invented yet.

No, they are not labeled organic. They are completely free of any preservative-the old fashioned shriveled up dried raisin. I am very sulfite and preservative sensitive and I do not react to these raisins. I hope this helps you.

No. They are 100% organic. As I have many allergies, I have never had a problem with this pillow or one I bought several years ago. They are great.
