Organic Produce List

I wanted to post a list of produce that is more important to purchase organic this summer as you're preparing your fruit salads and picnic menus. Our children's growing bodies absorb more of the food and nutrients that are eaten than our adult bodies.

Below are the 10 fruits and vegetables that are the most likely to contain pesticide residues and should therefore be purchased organic. They are:

Apples
Grapes
Green Beans
Peaches
Pears
Potatoes
Raspberries
Spinach
Strawberries
Winter Squash
