Natural Cures Store - Tricks & Tips
I'm often asked where to start when moving toward organic foods.
Most people can't afford to eat 100% organic.
But it doesn't have to be an all or nothing game. You can significantly reduce your toxin consumption by just buying smart.
As a general rule, thin skinned produce absorbs the most toxins. Whereas, thicker skinned items protect the fruit or vegetable from contamination.
But to get even more specific, here's a list of the top 10 most and least contaminated produce.
Top 10 Most Contaminated:
- Apples
- Celery
- Grapes
- Potatoes
- Strawberries
- Bell Peppers
- Raspberries
- Peaches
- Cherries
- Nectarines
Top 10 Least Contaminated:
- Bananas
- Broccoli
- Onions
- Avocados
- Cauliflower
- Mangos
- Asparagus
- Kiwi
- Papaya
- Pineapple
If you start here, you'll go a long way to avoiding pesticides.
