I eat tons of avos! This is a great reminder to stick with organic as much as possible. Buy for QUALITY not quantity. Glad to see avos and onions are rated 1. I eat tons of avos!

It seems more and more these days, our food supplies are being tainted. So, basically you should buy all your fruits and veggies organic to be on the safe side.

I found it interesting that although green peppers are a no no for organic, sweet bell peppers are less prone because insects don't like the taste. And nectarines are better than peaches because it's harder for fungus to grow on the fuzz. I peel everything pretty much. Lettuce I always buy organic. Thanks for the post.

Certainly washing your fruits and vegetables is a good practice, it does not remove all of the chemicals. Farmers often use a process called fumigation which is the practice of spraying the chemicals in a fine mist. This mist is readily absorbed by the product and thus cannot be washed off. Another problem is that the chemicals are sprayed over the plants and end up in the soil where they are absorbed by the root system. Eliminating these offenders or buying organic is your best bet and your healthiest.

Commercially produced fruits and veggies only provides us significant problems in the future. While we benefited from the vitamins we get from commercially-produced plants, the side effects greatly outweighs the benefits. So as much as possible, stay organic.

If you want to know exactly what you're getting in/on your vegetables then there is no other choice. This is the reason that I bake my own bread these days too... I like knowing what is going in (not as much salt and no week long preserving chemicals etc) Organic seems like the only way to go.
