Which foods retain the least amount of pesticides? According to the Daily Green, the following fruits and vegetables are the ones to look for if the budget is tight:
asparagus, avocados, bananas, broccoli, cabbage, kiwi, mango, radishes, onions, papaya, and pineapples.
Which foods have the heaviest burden of pesticides?
meat, milk, coffee, peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, strawberries (see this previous post on strawberries and fungicides), lettuce, grapes, potatoes, and tomatoes.
Recently, shopping in Publix, the organic tomato paste as well as the "grape" tomatoes were priced the same or less than non-organic brands, a promising sign.
