White Leaf Provisions sets itself apart from other makers of applesauce snacks by creating Biodynamic Apple & Pear Sauce. The simple snack boasts an incredibly simple ingredient list that includes just biodynamic, seasonal apples and pears. As well as being free of GMOs and USDA-certified organic, the produce is grown without any chemical pesticides, fertilizers or herbicides.
Biodynamic farming is a form of alternative agriculture that is comparable organic farming, but it differentiates itself by emphasizing regeneration, whereas traditional farming typically deteriorates soil quality over time.
Within the realm of food and beverages, many brands are striving to offer products of a quality that goes above and beyond the recognized organic certification standards. Although the word "biodynamic" was first spotted on many wine bottles, it can now also be found on a variety of grain-based foods and snacks.
