Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi all, I have a great book called " Fresh Choices " by David Joachim and Rochelle Davis which is part cookbook and part informative book on sustainable agriculture. It tells which produce is best consumes organic and which is okay to eat conventional with minimum pesticide. I made this list for my own use. I hope that this helps some of you. Cheers Devon Eat Conventional: Bananas, plantains, pineapples, mangoes, papayas, kiwi, honeydew, U.S. cantaloupe, Grapefruit, oranges (without peel), lemons (without peel), limes (without peel), blueberries, blackberries, U.S. grapes, tangerines, watermelon, plums, asparagus, avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, eggplant, okra, onions, peas, radishes, sweet corn (non GMO), chard, romaine lettuce, Eat Organic: Apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, cherries, red raspberries, strawberries, apricots, spinach, peppers, celery, potatoes, tomatoes Check for " non GMO " Canola, Corn, Soy, Cotton, Check for " rBGH free " or " rBST free " in dairy products, choose organic when available.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi Devon, This comes in very handy because since I have left CA a year ago, I have yet to find a vegetable or fruit that I can afford to buy. Everything in NC is at least 4x more expensive than in CA. So last week, I decided that I would have to sacrifice and eat some conventional produce or go without another year. Your list is very good and agrees with what I thought was ok to eat conventionally. I figured that it was ok to eat fruits and vegetables that have a thick skin, though I didn't know about the dark berries and grapes. Thank you much for the info.
