Pesticide Free Produce
by: Christina Baxter
As the weather warms I can be found at the local farmers
market on the weekend to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies for the week
ahead. There is a large selection of vendors with a wide variety of produce
that has been grown with or without chemicals.
It is important to buy Organic when choosing fresh produce
to avoid those contaminated with pesticides and other chemical residues. The following list of fruits and vegetables
are crucial to buy organic, due to being the most heavily chemically sprayed:
- Peaches
- Apples
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Celery
- Nectarines
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Lettuce
- Grapes (Imported)
- Pears
- Spinach
- Potatoes
Organically grown is always the best choice. When Organics are not available, be sure to look for local farmers selling produce free from genetic modification, pesticides, and other synthetic chemicals.
