Which fruit and veggies should I only buy organic?
When talking about your health, it’s so important to try and limit your exposure to as many toxins as you can. You can find toxins in your food, beauty products, cleaning supplies and environment. I try and buy local when it’s available and organic as much as possible, but I know how expensive it can be (especially here in Singapore). There’s good news! You don’t need to buy all your Fruits & Veggies organic.
Each year a list of Clean 15 and Dirty 12 is released by The Environmental Working Group (EWG). This list is updated each year and ranks pesticide contamination on 47 popular fruits and vegetables.
So, next time your cruising down the fruit and veg aisles try and buy all organic for the dirty dozen below. Also, you can buy fruit and vegetable wash to give your produce an extra clean to get rid of the toxins that coat the surface.
