Originally, all foods were grown organically without the use of pesticides and chemicals. Our food these days is not only deficient in nutrients, but also full of pollutants and farming chemicals. Eating organically not only keeps chemicals off your plate it also saves energy, helps small farmers, protects the water and soil quality and most of all, food grown organically just tastes better.
What's stopping you from going organic? Is it the higher prices? If you are concerned about price you should prioritize your organic purchases based on which type of produce has the highest pesticide residues-and which do not. Check out the lists below for the 12 most/least contaminated produce.
