Organic Strawberries

It's almost strawberry season.  Yum!  So, do you spend extra for the organic berries?  I do because according to the Organic Consumers Association, strawberries are high in pesticide residue.  (So are cherries, apples, and peaches.)  

If you just can't bear the cost of organic strawberries, The Organic Consumers Association recommends substitute fruit choices (non-organic fruit with lower pesticide residue) that provide similar nutritional benefits.
