What about ORGANIC? Organic food growers strive to provide food that is free of chemical additives. The best choice for nutrient-rich, chemical-free produce is local, organic produce because it's pick in its prime, available immediately and free of pesticides. In many locations, however, local-produce is not available. The jury is out on whether, in the case, local of organic is the more healthful choice.
Certain produce items absorb more chemicals, hormones and other additives. It is recommend that you buy these foods.--sometimes call the "dirty dozen"-organic. They include nectarines, celery, pears, peaches, apples, cherries, strawberries, imported grapes, spinach, potatoes, bell peppers and raspberries. Produce that is least contaminated by pesticides includes asparagus, avocados, bananas, broccoli, cauiflower, corn, kiwis, mangoes, onion, papayas, pinapples and seet peas.
