Because even though I wish I could buy everything organic, the fact is that it is just cost-prohibitive right now. Sad but true.
So.... without further ado, I present the Top 10 Foods to Buy Organic:
RANK | FRUIT OR VEGGIE | SCORE |
1 (worst) | Peaches | 100 (highest pesticide load) |
2 | Apples | 96 |
3 | Sweet Bell Peppers | 86 |
4 | Celery | 85 |
5 | Nectarines | 84 |
6 | Strawberries | 83 |
7 | Cherries | 75 |
8 | Lettuce | 69 |
9 | Grapes - Imported | 68 |
10 | Pears | 65 |
Keep in mind, there are 33 other items on this list of foods it's important to buy organic (spinach, potatoes, and carrots are items 11, 12, and 13), but these are the 10 most important ones. I am never touching a non-organic peach ever again!
