That's right. I bought a pack of pan de sal because on the label it says "organic pan de sal." There is no explanation why it so called. However, when it is "organic" it is supposed to be good, right? People are now looking for food that is organic because it is supposed to be healthy. But I am wondering what makes this pan de sal I am eating organic. Any clues or guesses? Do share.

Organic means that the ingredients are grown without chemicals when possible. Some chemicals are allowed if they are necessary to produce whatever is grown. Basically organics have fewer chemical pesticides. But in bread, salt, water and yeast never have pesticides. Flour and sugar may, but it is rare. So bread is usually organic.

It's organic because the ingredients that were used in making the pandesal are all organic materials. The flour, yeast, eggs, sugar, the vegetable oil used are supposedly organic - no chemical pesticides used on the farming of wheat from where flour was produced, as well as the sugar cane , feeds of the chicken where the eggs came from should also be organic, and the chicken should not have been given antibiotics or other non-organic supplements. Even the vegetable oil should be from sources grown organically. Personally, I'm not really sold on products claiming to be purely organic unless they cost twice or thrice the non-organic ones because organic materials, especially in our country, is scare and a bit expensive.

the name "organic pan de sal" seems too cool. lol
I think they called it organic because they put some fruits or vegetable material in that pan de sal. but im not really sure about that, just my thought. hehe.
in our place, we have this so called "malunggay pan de sal". they called it that way because they put some "malunggay" (a tree that has leaves that can be eaten) extract in the pan de sal.
