A lot of people tell me, hey Rachel, I'd love to eat Organic, but the prices are just too expensive for us! Here's some help! I found this list of the top 12 offenders when it comes to pesticides on your fruits and veggies! Also, a neat trick that I use regardless of organic/non-organic, keep a small container of baking soda next to your kitchen sink, every time you need to rinse off your fruits/veggies, sprinkle some baking soda on first, it's a great safe way to clean off some extra gunk from your fruits/veggies before you eat them!
The Dirty Dozen (Buy These Organic):
Celery
Peaches
Strawberries
Apples
Blueberries
Nectarines
Bell Peppers
Spinach
Cherries
Kale/Collard
Greens
Potatoes
Grapes (Imported)
The Clean 15: (Optional to buy organic)
Onions
Avocado
Sweet Corn
Pineapple
Mango's
Sweet Peas
Asparagus
Kiwi
Cabbage
Eggplant
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Grapefruit
Sweet Potato
Honeydew
Melon
