This is the most comprehensive list I’ve found to use when choosing produce.
The Top 10 Must-Buy-Organic fruits/veggies:
Peaches
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Lettuce
Imported Grapes
Pears
The Top 10 Okay-To-Buy-Conventional:
Onions
Avocado
Frozen Sweet Corn
Pineapples
Mango
Frozen Sweet Peas
Asparagus
Kiwi
Bananas
Cabbage
Note that a lot of the items from the conventional list are tropical fruits — a bonus, esp. for my family. I hope that doesn’t change anytime soon. I didn’t know about avocados! Here I was paying 2x, sometimes even 3x for organic. Seems guacamole will once again be a staple around here…
