Nutrition Education: ORGANIC BEST BUYS
When it comes to buying grocery shopping, organic is the safest choice for avoiding pesticides and other contaminants. However, organic food often comes at a premium and not everybody can afford an all-organic diet.
Your Organic Best Buys list shows the foods that you should always aim to buy organic, and which ones you can afford to forgo if necessary.
Necessities are the foods likely to be exposed to the most pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics if not bought organic. You’ll notice many are fruits and vegetables with thin, delicate skins, which means that they absorb and retain more chemical residue.
If you’re on a limited budget, Bonuses are foods considered to be much safer even in their non-organic form. Many of them have protective outer layers that don’t tend to be eaten, so you don’t ingest as many contaminants.
