It’s another WHAT’S ON THE #MENUMONDAY everyone — and this week we continue with the fourth installment of our FIVE PART SERIES on Organic Produce.
Today, we’ll unveil our list of the TOP TEN WORST FRUITS that we should all buy organic — all the time! And remember, our list is a compilation of several other sources — and our top ten appeared the most often on everyone else’s list. So, here we go! In order from the fruit with the most pest res (pesticide residue) to the fruit with the least!
1) Apples
2) Peaches
3) Nectarines (imported)
4) Strawberries
5) Grapes (imported)
6) Grapes (USA grown)
7) Pears
8) Cherries
9) Raspberries
10) Plums
So, here they are! The most notorious fruits that contain the highest levels of pest res! And just a word about our number one — apples appeared as the most contaminated fruit on the list of every source I researched – and they have been for several years in a row. SO — if you only buy one thing organic — make it apples!
Remember, organic produce may be fresher and taste better! A big plus! So, take care with the above fruits, buy them organic if possible AND always wash your produce before eating it!
Then next week, we’ll bring this FIVE PART SERIES to an end with the TOP TEN BEST FRUITS that you never have to buy organic!
Until then, EAT WELL and BE WELL!
TAKE THE COURSE AND TAKE CHARGE!
