If you eat a lot
of fruits and vegetables, like I do, you want to make sure you’re eating as
organic as possible. Organic farming uses natural fertilizers and pesticides versus
chemical ones. Here are some of the benefits of eating organic:
- Greater antioxidant and nutrient value
- Reduced pesticide and antibiotic exposure
- Avoidance of genetically modified foods
In general, if you
eat more organic foods, you will be exposed to less chemicals and more
nutrients. For me it is hard to eat 100% organic because my grocery stores only
have a limited organic section, but I try and choose organic options over
conventional whenever possible.
Below is a guide
to inform you which types of produce are typically the highest in pesticides,
which you should try and buy organic, and those that are the lowest.
