Consuming fresh fruit and vegetables is the best way to obtain daily nutrients, but the pesticides used on our produce remain a major health concern. By choosing organic foods, you can obtain the health benefits of fruits and vegetables without exposing yourself to potentially harmful chemicals.
Be sure you purchase only organic varieties of the produce listed below. According to the Environmental Working Group (click on the link to learn more), common growing practices make these crops the most likely to contain pesticide residue:
Apples
Bell Peppers
Celery
Cherries
Imported Grapes
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Potatoes
Raspberries
Spinach
Strawberries
Or even better yet, grow your own produce and connect with Mother Earth!
