This was on aol’s site, July 2008: The Environmental Working Group doesn’t necessarily advocate organic, but does suggest that consumers be aware of the following non-organic foods having the highest pesticide levels. They are: peaches, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, peas, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes.
There’s a spike in gardening this year, as you may know. that’s a good thing, regardless of whether people are concerned about saving money on food or the availability of wholesomefood. Growing and preserving our own means less worry about pesticides and other problems, such as Salmonella contamination.
