Did you know washing and peeling produce does not remove all pesticide residues? Every year the Environmental Working Group produces a list of the most pesticide-laden produce. This year 70% of non-organic produce sampled tested positive for pesticide contamination once it had been washed & peeled.
Check out the results for 2022. If you're not already eating organic produce - it's time to make the switch. Because at least with these dirty dozen, you might be doing more harm than good if it's not organic.
And by buying organic you won't be supporting the industries that are making us sick, killing our pollinators & depleting our soil of nutrients.
Other bonus - organic produce usually has 3-4 times the nutritional quality than non-organic. Maximize the goodness Mother Nature intended.
