Eating organic foods nowadays is always a good idea to maintain your health. Unfortunately, eating organically can be very expensive. To save yourself some money in this sluggish economy, here is a short list of foods you don’t need to worry about. And a list of those where spending the extra money might be worth it.
No need to go organic foods: bananas, kiwi, mango, papaya, pineapples, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, onions, and peas.
Foods best bought organic (because even after washing, these foods still carry higher levels of pesticides than others): apples, cherries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, pears, raspberries, strawberries, bell peppers, celery, potatoes, and spinach.
