Should we go all Organic?

Sunday, May 2, 2010

Here are two lists of fruits and vegetables according to their pesticide level. I don't remember the website I got it from, that's why I didn't write the link in the post... so don't quote me, I am not sure how true this may be..

12 Most Contaminated Produce Items (Highest in Pesticides) :
  • Apples
  • Bell Peppers
  • Celery
  • Cherries
  • Grapes (imported)
  • Nectarines
  • Peaches
  • Pears
  • Potatoes
  • Red Raspberries
  • Spinach
  • Strawberries
These foods are lowest in pesticides, so its not necessarily needed to go organic...:
  • Asparagus
  • Avocados
  • Bananas
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Corn (sweet)
  • Kiwi
  • Mangos
  • Onions
  • Papaya
  • Pineapples
  • Peas (sweet)
