Re: Organic Produce- where to buy

Whole Foods ! We buy all our food there.
We are a family of 2 and we spend between 400-500 per month on food.


What products should you make sure are organic?

1, Meat ( if you are a meat-eater) because you want to avoid the anti-biotics, pesticides and grown hormone found in the meat.
2. Eggs and dairy products for the same reasons as above
3. Coffee
4. Peaches, cherries, nectarines, berries and apples as they are all heavily sprayed with pesticides.
5. Spinach, kale,peppers, carrots celery and greens : heavily sprayed also

What's not worth buying organic?

Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, bananas, avocados, kiwis, mangoes, pineapples etc

There are others but that is what comes to mind immediately.
Good luck and congrats on going organic! It will benefit your health and the environment.
