Organic Picks

We seem to have “organic” choices just about everywhere now...

Chances are you’ll see the word “organic” plastered on something in every aisle of the grocery store. All things organic is a popular trend – but it’s not just a gimmick. Here is a list of organic food we really should pay a little extra for:

• Apples – they’ve got the highest levels of pesticide.

• Celery – one piece could have up to 14 types of pesticide on there.

• Strawberries – that bumpy texture hangs onto a lot of chemical residue.

• Peaches – the fuzzy texture poses the same problem as the strawberries.

• Grapes – the imported non-organic variety are bursting with pesticides.

• Potatoes – they’re heavily exposed to pesticides and fertilizers in the ground.
