When to Buy Organic

We all know that organic food is the healthiest choice, but for those of us living on a budget (or less), it's hard to justify the price sometimes.

So, I did some checking. If you can't fill your cotton shopping bag with organic goodies, at least you can know which products have the most/least pesticide residue.

According to Care2, the produce with the lowest pesticide issues: onions, avocados, frozen sweet corn, pineapples, and mangos.

Here are the products with the highest residue (ie, go organic on these items): peaches and nectarines, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, and strawberries.

Bon appetit!
