When ORGANIC is a must!

In an ideal world we would all eat organic, natural, and pesticide-free every day, all day. But, eating organic isn’t cheap and sometimes not even available.

So, when making the choice in the produce section, what do you really NEED to buy organic?

The Dirty Dozen (Top 12 foods that, for your own health & safety, are worth buying organic)

  1. Celery
  2. Peaches
  3. Strawberries
  4. Apples
  5. Blueberries
  6. Nectarines
  7. Bell Peppers
  8. Spinach, kale and collard greens
  9. Cherries
  10. Potatoes
  11. Grapes
  12. Lettuce

On the other hand, what items aren’t so dangerous to buy non-organic to save a little cash?

The Clean 15 (The 15 safest food to skip going organic on)

  1. Onions
  2. Avocados
  3. Corn
  4. Pineapples
  5. Mango
  6. Sweet peas
  7. Asparagus
  8. Kiwi
  9. Cabbage
  10. Eggplant
  11. Cantaloupe
  12. Watermelon
  13. Grapefruit
  14. Sweet potatoes
  15. Sweet onions

Of course, whenever possible, buy organic, from both lists. But keeping this list with you in your purse is a handy way to know when it’s most important!
