Organic vs. Conventional

I mentioned in a previous post that we don't always buy organic. It comes down to budget. We can't buy everything organic and all the boutique type real foods out there, just don't have the cash flow. On that note, I thought I'd post the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 of produce from the Environmental Working Group's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides.

Dirty Dozen:
Celery
Peaches
Strawberries
Apples
Blueberries
Nectarines
Bell Peppers
Spinach
Kale
Cherries
Potatoes
Grapes (Imported)

Clean 15:
Onions
Avocado
Sweet Corn
Pineapple
Mangos
Sweet Peas
Asparagus
Kiwi
Cabbage
Eggplant
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Grapefruit
Sweet Potato
Honeydew
Melon

This is important information to have. It's good for your health and your budget.
