We all know that we should reach for that piece of fruit or that vegetable rather than that cupcake. However, something that is important to know is which fruits and veggies you should buy as certified organic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me make a quick disclaimer prior to reviewing the organic foods to seek. Any fruit or vegetable is better than not eating any at all. Essentially all raw and frozen fruits and veggies will have some nutritional value.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the difference between \u2018certified organic\u2019 and non-organic you may ask?<\/span><\/p>\n

Essentially the difference is the standards by which they can grow the crops. Certified organic farms (and even a lot of the small local farmers that don\u2019t have certification for being organic) can\u2019t use radiation, insecticide chemicals, fungicides, fertilizers that are synthetically made in addition to several other restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of these chemicals are shown to cause cancer, immune system issues, infertility problems and neurological disorders in addition to a host of other issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

The food also cannot be genetically modified.<\/span><\/p>\n

So which ones to buy organic?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The answer is those that are show to have the greatest amount of pesticides in and on them. These include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Apples<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Celery<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Bell Peppers<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Cherries<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Lettuce<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Grapes<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Pears<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Peaches<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Potatoes<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Spinach<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Strawberries<\/span><\/p>\n

So in short, if you don\u2019t shop organic on any other fruits or vegetables, at the very least go organic on the above. Or better yet\u2026grow them yourself for the ultimate control over the health of your food. <\/span><\/p>\n
