Happy Vernal Equinox! aka Spring!

With the garden just waking up I thought you all might want to know which veggies/fruits are not heavily sprayed and those that are. These 'dirty dozen' you should buy organically grown whenever possible, when your budget allows.

'Naturally Clean'
Avocados
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Kiwi
Mango
Papaya
Pineapple
Sweet peas
Sweet Corn

Heavily sprayed: listed from worst to not quite as bad
Peaches
Strawberries
Apples
Spinach
Celery
Pears
Cherries
Potatoes
Bell Peppers
Raspberries
imported Grapes
All of these are known to contain toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, antibiotics, GMO's, sewage, and possible irradiation to kill bacteria.


I obtained these lists at my local health food store and wanted to share.
