Should I Buy Organic?

It can be quite confusing to know whether you should buy organic fruits and vegetables. The term organic means that the produce is grown without chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides or chemically based food additives. Foods certified organic are easy to find at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, local farmers markets and even grocery stores. They are  more expensive but the extra money is well spent in most cases. 

Below is a list of produce that you will want to buy organic  as well as items that are not affected by the farming methods used as significantly. All of us at Pryor Events try to consume organic products whenever possible. 

The following foods are grown with dozens of pesticides and even sewage run-off!
Much of  the residue stays in the food you eat.

Apples
Blueberries
Celery
Cherry Tomatoes
Collard Greens
Cucumbers
Grapes
Hot Peppers

Kale

Lettuce

Nectarines 

Peaches

Potatoes 

Spinach
Strawberries

Sweet Bell Peppers

Zucchini 

These foods are a bit safer to eat as the pesticides do not penetrate the food as easily.
Organic is still preferred.
