While reading the newspaper a few days ago, I saw some important information about Organic Foods. I often wonder, what foods are better oganic? I always thought it was ALL fruits but I thought wrong. Read below:
Here’s the list of the best foods to buy organic (most susceptible to pesticide residue)
- Peaches
- Apples
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Celery
- Nectarines
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Pears
- Grapes
- Spinach
- Lettuce
- Potatoes
Here’s the list for the foods you can buy at the grocery store (not much better than non-organic)
- Papayas
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Bananas
- Kiwi Fruit
- Sweet Peas (frozen)
- Asparagus
- mangoes
- Pineapple
- Sweet Corn (frozen)
- Avocados
- Onions
I was suprised that avocadoes were on that list (the first), and I was extremely surprised that bananas weren’t.
The second list is good to know. A lot of people are trying to go organic, and let me tell you, it does get expensive, and if some purchases can be reduced, the better!
