Top produce you should buy organic

Something I am trying to reconcile is the monetary cost of organics…but more and more I am understanding it all…because the extra money you spend is going towards better farm practices, preventative healthcare and a better wage for the workers who use sustainable practices. In my mind it is money well spent. But if you feel like you can’t justify the cost of buying chemically free food– at least consider the following foods. These foods when tested are found to soak the most pesticides in.

Peaches
Apples
Sweet bell peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Lettuce
Grapes (imported)
Pears
Spinach
Potatoes
