While some people may think it is hard, or expensive to consume organic foods, there is an easier way to increase your intake of this growing trend.
According to "Five Easy ways to go Organic," some produce with peels, like oranges and grapefruits, have lower levels of pesticides than other fruits and veggies. The article also goes on to lend other tips to integrate organics into your diet.
Milk is number one on the list, explaining that milk has " a whole chemical system of agriculture," and that many people switch to organic milk "because they are concerned about the antibiotics, artificial hormones and pesticides used in the commercial dairy industry."
Peanut butter is also on the list. According to this article, most peanut farms use a lot of a fungicide that treats a common mold on peanuts. Many stores now offer organic peanut butter, but you can also make your own mix of peanut butter at health food stores like Whole Foods.
Last but definitly not least is the apple. It is one of the most consumed fruit, whether it be in solid or liquid form. It also is one of the most pesticide-infected fruit as well. Luckily, states the article, organic apples are easy to find in grocery stores.
