Try Organic
Some things are more important to buy organic than others. If you have the oppurtunity to buy locally grown produce, and they are within your price range, I encourage you to support your local farmers.
If you are shopping at the grocery store, here are twelve foods that are most important to buy organic when possible:
1. Apples
2. Celery
3. Sweet bell peppers
4. Peaches
5. Strawberries
6. Nectarines – imported
7. Grapes
8. Spinach, and other Greens
9. Lettuce
10. Cucumbers
11. Blueberries – domestic
12. Potatoes
It’s not necessary to break your budget buying everything organic. These are fifteen items that are okay to buy conventional :
1. Onions
2. Sweet Corn
3. Pineapples
4. Avocado
5. Cabbage
6. Sweet Peas
7. Asparagus
8. Mangoes
9. Eggplant
10. Kiwi
11. Cantaloupe – domestic
12. Sweet Potatoes
13. Grapefruit
14. Watermelon
15. Mushrooms
A Note on Animal Products:
If you can find locally grown meat, eggs, and milk, than I highly recommend buying local, grass-fed or pastured animal products. More on that soon!
