Should You Buy Organic for Your Family?

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Deciding whether or not to buy organic food for your family is a harder question in today’s economic climate, where people are worried about job security.

One answer is to selectively buy organic. Specifically seek out organic produce based on which foods have the highest levels of pesticides on them. The not-for-profit Environmental Working Group did about 43,000 tests on produce between 2000 and 2005.

Here were the 12 worst foods – meaning these you should buy organic:

Peaches (Highest pesticide load)
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Lettuce
Grapes (Imported/Not domestic US)
Pears
Spinach
Potatoes

The 12 best foods, meaning lowest in pesticides:

Eggplant
Broccoli
Cabbage
Bananas
Kiwi
Asparagus
Sweet Peas-Frozen
Mango
Pineapples
Sweet Corn-Frozen
Avocado
Onions (lowest pesticides)
