Tippin Tuesday: organic foods

Here is a great tip request from Hailey:

"Is there a list of the best kind of organic foods to buy ?"

Yes there is! I like this list from deliciousorganics.com. Also, thegreenguide.com has a list of the top 10 produce items to buy organic (if like me there's no way you can afford all of it). Here is that list:

FRUIT

Peaches
Apples
Strawberries
Nectarines
Pears

VEGETABLES

Spinach
Bell Peppers
Celery
Potatoes
Hot Peppers

Conventionally grown fruit and vegetables can contain the residues of as many as 51 different pesticides, while organic has two thirds less. If you want to reduce your family’s exposures, pick up organic varieties of these most contaminated “top 10.”
