Eating Organic To Avoid Pesticides

Pesticides are a major concern to many families, and while we all want our children to eat healthy figuring out the maze of what to actually get ‘normally’ and what to get that is organic can be considerably tricky.
Eating organic all the time can quickly add up with the wallet, and many experts say that there are foods that don’t have to be bought organic, as long as they are prepared correctly. The experts tend to say that you can get away with foods with a thicker skin as long as you take the skin off the fruit.
A list has been released of the foods that if at all possible you should buy organic to avoid the contamination from dangerous chemicals finding it’s way into your body.
Here is just a very small excerpt out of the 12 foods (some are pretty shocking):
1. Celery
Celery has no protective skin, which makes it almost impossible to wash off the chemicals (64 of them!) that are used on crops. Buy organic celery, or choose alternatives like broccoli, radishes, and onions.2. Peaches
Multiple pesticides (as many as 62 of them) are regularly applied to these delicately skinned fruits in conventional orchards. Can’t find organic? Safer alternatives include watermelon, tangerines, oranges, and grapefruit.(Source)
