The skinny on veggie and fruit safety!

Hi Everyone,

I want to share some good info I looked up tonight online. There is a site ( I will post in a moment) that tells what the most heavily sprayed fruits and veggies are and which are the least sprayed or absorb the pesticides the least.

Here are the worst, they are called the Dirty Dozen:

celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries, nectarines, bell peppers, spinach, kale, cherries, potatoes, grapes (imported). These you should only buy organic.

Here are veggies and fruit that are okay to buy non-organic:

onion, avocado, sweet corn, pineapple, mango, asparagus, sweet pea, kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, papaya, watermelon, broccoli, tomato (try to get local), sweet potato.

Try to keep this list with you when you shop so you know which to avoid and which to go for.

Goodnight,

Lysa
