Most of us know that choosing organic food is ideal for our health. But we also realize that organic can be much more expensive compared to it's conventional counterparts. Does it mean you have to go "organic or nothing" when you're food shopping? Absolutely not.
Next time you're at the green market or grocery store, it's smart to select organic produce when it matters the most. For example, choose organic varieties when it comes to fruits and vegetables where you eat the fruit or vegetable entirely (think: grapes, apples, spinach and strawberries). This is because the pseticides can accumulate on the surface of produce's skin and therefore are easily ingested into our bodies once we eat it. Whereas fruits like lemons, bananas, oranges and avocados have thicker skins that get peeled away, so it's not as harmful to opt for conventionally grown in order to pinch pennies. No matter what, wash your produce really well before enyoying it!
For truly affordable organics, check out places like Costco and Trader Joe's.
