What to Buy Organic

Lisa Leake — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 19:10:00 +0000

Only in an ideal world could every single food purchase you make be organic, which is why the below lists can really come in handy. These reflect two important factors to consider - high levels of pesticide residue and genetically modified crops - both of which can be avoided when buying organic. And be sure to put these lists into practice beyond the produce section. For example, with apples being at the very top of the dirty dozen list, I am sure to buy organic applesauce and apple juice as well. Plus with the majority of additives found in processed food being derived from corn and soy (both on the GMO crop list), that is another area where buying organic is key. Or better yet, just avoid the additive-filled, chemical-laden, factory-made junk all together. :) That's just my two cents!
