I am a big fan of organic, anything organic. Mostly fruits and veggies. My local newspaper had an article about organic foods and I thought I would pass this on to you, my faithful reader. I try to buy organic when I can (can be pricey) but if I am unable, I use a product called Veggie Wash to rinse them with. Do we really want to ingest pesticide contaminated foods? I think not. One thing I will not compromise on is apples, they must be organic. Think Meryl Streep a few years back and her report on apples. Most supermarkets sell organic produce, shop around for the best prices. So here is the info from the newspaper;
The Dirty Dozen - The most pesticide-contaminated fruits and veggies:
Celery, peaches, strawberries,apples, blueberries, nectarines, bell peppers, spinach, cherries, kale/collard greens, potatoes, imported grapes
The Clean 15 - The least pesticide-contaminated fruits and veggies:
Onions, avocado, sweet corn, pineapple, mangoes, sweet peas, asparagus, kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet potato, honeydew melon
I have this list posted on my fridge, go organic!
