The Dirty Dozen...what you need to know. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have NO financial ties to disclose. :)
Every spring the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization with financial ties to the organic industry, publishes a guide based on test results by a USDA #pesticide residue database. It's a list of what they consider the top 12 most contaminated fruits and veggies, the dirty dozen. If you're going to buy organic, those are what they recommend. (That's what EWG recommends, NOT what numerous scientists nor I recommend.)
NEWSFLASH: Organic produce is NOT pesticide-free. Nor is it any more nutritious.
►We should be emphasizing more wholesome foods regardless… the focus shouldn’t be on synthetic pesticides – it draws away from the REAL problems….inactivity, poor diets, stress, etc.
►Expect to pay more for organic foods— anywhere from 10% to 100% more than conventional foods.
►If buying organic makes you feel better and you can afford it, do it.
►Don’t feel guilty if organic food doesn’t fit into your budget. Focus on feeding your family nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low fat/nonfat dairy.
►Buy locally and buy seasonally. Explore farmers markets and support local farmers.
►WASH your produce
►►►►►►►►►
Just eat your fruits and veggies! The value of eating more fruits and vegetables—whether organically or conventionally grown—is overwhelming.
