Organic Facts

" . . . The quality of the fruits and vegetables available at grocery stores is terrible. Most are laden with toxic substances, such as sulfates on grapes, pesticides . . . many times fruits and vegetables are imported from foreign countries that use toxic pesticides that are illegal in the United States."
As stated by Dr. Ronald Steriti in our article Antioxidants and Organic Foods

Buy Local Fruits and Vegetables to Go Organic, and Save Money

October 16th, 2009 - Gerald "Gerry" Pugliese

VEGGIES In April, the Environmental Working Group released a report ranking the 12 dirtiest fruits and vegetables, and the 15 cleanest.

The icky stuff, i.e. most contaminated with pesticides, included produce like nectarines, cherries, and carrots.

But avocados, mangos, and eggplant, were among the safer foods.

The problem is, more often than not, organic stuff is more expensive than conventional fruits and vegetables.

So a quick tip to eat cleaner and save a little money is to buy foods from local farmers markets, a lot of the stuff can be organic, plus little markets are almost always cheaper than big retailers.

Another way, and its not technically organic, is to buy regular fruits and vegetables, specifically the clean stuff, and give them a good scrub to avoid any pesticide residue.

I guess I’m a casual organic buyer. I’m not super anal about it, if I see some organic fruits and vegetables I buy them, but I usually purchase organic food products, like cereals, soymilk, tofu, and bread.
