Dirty Dozen

I know Organic is not cheap. And everything is not always available Organic. Here's a list of what they call the dirty dozen. This is what you should buy Organic. The least amount of exposure to pesticides they better off you and your children are. Please keep in mind that babies and small children are far more vulnerable to the effect of pesticides than adults. Their systems are less developed to excrete the chemicals. I always refer to the EWG for anything I'm not sure about. Each year The Environmental Working Group comes out with the Dirty Dozen list and Skin Deep also comes out with info on sunblock and lotions that are safer choices. Too much exposer to chemicals is not a good thing. And you know there's an app for that! EWG has a free i phone app for the Dirty Dozen. 


What you should buy Organic:

Celery 
Peaches
Strawberries
Apples
Blueberries 
Nectarines
Sweet Bell Peppers
Spinach
Kale/Collard Greens
Cherries
Potatoes
Grapes (Imported)
