The Dirty Dozen

Some of you may be fimiliar with "the Dirty Dozen" but for those of you who are not here is a list of produce that you should ALWAYS buy organic because they are the most heavily sprayed with pesticides and that is were they get their name.

BUY ORGANIC
peaches
apples
sweet bell peppers
celery
nectarines
strawberries
cherries
lettuce
grapes
pears
spinach
potatoes

LOWEST PESTICIDES
onions
avocado
sweet corn
pineapples
mango
sweet peas
asparagus
kiwi
bananas
cabbage

Keep in mind when you are NOT buying organic you are still running the risk of buying genetically modified produce! Choose wisely, the more organic YOU buy the cheaper it will become for us all. Blessings.
