If you think washing and peeling produce removes pesticide residues, think again. Every year the Environmental Working Group produces a list of the most pesticide-laden produce. Every year, strawberries come in first place. The toxins in non-organic strawberries are so great that they outweigh any nutritional benefit.
Check out the results for 2024. 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.
