By this point, most people are well aware that between pesticides, fungicides and genetically modified foods, there are some real bad and unsafe practices going on in the farming community.
Because of that, in the last post I covered Fruits and Veggies to Buy Organic.
In contrast, there are vegetables and fruits that even with conventional farming are typically found to have the lowest residual pesticide and other chemical ‘load.’ This of course makes them the safer fruits and vegetable to opt for the non-organic variety of.
A few of the more common include:
- Asparagus
- Frozen peas (sweet)
- Mango
- Cabbage
- Banana
- Kiwi
- Pineapple
- Frozen corn (sweet)
- Avocados
- Onions
- Broccoli
- Eggplant
Going all organic all the time quickly gets expensive. Hopefully this information will help you be able to save money where you can by choosing the conventionally farmed options and spend the money where needed for the organic fruits and vegetables.
