What Produce Should I Buy Organic?

Organic produce has become much more readily available, but of course we all notice that it costs more than regular (conventional). Different plants retain pesticides at different rates, so by choosing wisely, you can get the most wellness for your money by choosing to buy organic when the produce is known to have a high pesticide residue.

Top 5 Produce to BUY ORGANIC (high pesticide residue)
1. Peach
2. Apple
3. Bell Pepper
4. Celery
5. Nectarine

Top 5 Produce with low pesticide (conventional is not as bad)
1. Onion
2. Avocado
3. Corn
4. Pineapple
5. Mango

If you'd like a more complete list, this info was taken from www.foodnews.org. They even have an iPhone App if you would like!
