Organic foods are more nutritious than non-organic foods. A recent study found that organic produce contain 40% more anti-oxidants and were better in fighting cancer. Produce like apples, celery, peppers, lettuce usually have high amounts of pesticides and should be bought organic.
Certain produce however do carry a low pesticide load and are safe to eat non-organic when conventially grown. They are:
Broccoli
Eggplant
Cabbage
Banana
Kiwi
Asparagus
Sweet peas (frozen)
Mango
Pineapple
Sweet corn (frozen)
Avocado
Onion
*Avoid any GM "foods".
G-d bless!
