Hello!
Buying organic is always a wonderful thing to do for the earth. In terms of avoiding pesticides for your health, these are the foods for which organic matters most. According to the Environmental Working Group, common growing practices make these crops the most likely to contain pesticide residues:
1. Apples
2. Bell peppers
3. Celery
4. Cherries
5. Imported grapes
6. Nectarines
7. Peaches
8. Pears
9. Potatoes
10. Raspberries
11. Spinach
12. Strawberries
If you don’t have access to organic produce, don’t sweat it. Eating plenty of fruits and veggies is the best thing you can do for your health—organic or not. Just wash the non-organic variety a little more thoroughly. Have a good week!
