I am changing my produce shopping habits!

[Guest guest]

I thought I was Ms Organic, but it turned out my

priorities were topsy turvy.

 

I always buy the organic broccoli, even when the

non-organic one is on special.

But the gorgeous shiny non-organic green and red

peppers always seduce me. They are the first item

on the produce shelf when you enter the store

and they usually look better than the organic ones.

 

It turns out that peppers are one of the vegetables

with the highest pesticide load. Broccoli is relatively

minor.

 

When it comes to fruit, I often pick up " regular " apples

but won't go near bananas unless they are organic.

Wrong again! Apples carry a high toxic load, much

higher than bananas.

 

Let's face it, we may not always be able to choose

organically grown produce. So it is nice to know

in which cases your organic choice makes the most

difference.

You'll find all the details here.
