Organic

If you don't want to try your hand at gardening, and still want healthy organic produce on your plate, but can't quite afford to buy organic all the time, well this is the list for you.

Nectarines

Celery
Pears
Peaches
Apples
Cherries
Strawberries
Imported Grapes
Spinach
Potatoes
Bell Peppers
Red Raspberries

Those foods that you just can't afford to buy organically: always wash. A simple mixture of 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar will do an even better job than a regular produce scrubbing brush. One more tip that I found helpful: wash all produce even items like melons, and oranges. If you cut into these the bacteria and pesticides will transfer onto the knife, and then transfer onto the flesh of the fruit, that you will be ingesting.

Happy Healthy Eating Everybody!
