I try to buy as much organic foods as I can, but I don't know about you, but I am trying to save money everywhere I can. I found a great article that suggests there are 15 foods you don't have to buy organic. Wow, I can save a buck! The Environmental Working Group (EWG, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization) has identified 15 fruits and vegetables that are least likely to be contaminated with pesticide residues:

  1. Asparagus
  2. Avocado
  3. Broccoli
  4. Cabbage
  5. Eggplant
  6. Kiwi
  7. Mango
  8. Onions
  9. Papaya
  10. Pineapple
  11. Sweet corn (frozen)
  12. Sweet peas (frozen)
  13. Sweet potatoes
  14. Tomatoes
  15. Watermelon
So, save a little and splurge on other things while knowing you are being healthy and safe all around. Read More...

VERY good tip! A good rule of thumb that I heard is that if you're going to eat the skin, you should go for organic. If not, you can save money. I always remember that the food that is the WORST for pesticides is Strawberries.
