Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Can't remember if it was here or not, but someone was asking about the levels of pesticide contamination in foods. I received this from VitaMix: BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO BUYING ORGANIC Buying organic produce can often be a challenge especially when you're just learning the " ropes " . Here's a list that may help you decide where " going green " is most important: Buy Organic! These are most commonly contaminated: a.. Peaches b.. Apples c.. Pears d.. Grapes e.. Celery f..

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks for the info Shari! That's a good list to have. I buy primarily organic. I do, occasionally buy non-org. avocados and (of course) durian and young coconuts. I see the avocados are on the least contaminated list. I've been told that they tend to not be sprayed, though I have not seen that in writing. Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
