Organic on a Budget

Organic on a Budget


You can do Organic on a Budget!!!
Organic goods are better for your baby, and better for you, but they can be tough on your budget. Due to increased consumer demand, prices are falling and selection is growing, but you still may not be able to afford to buy all organic, all the time. You can be a smart buyer and make choices about which organic selections are most important to buy. Some foods harbor higher concentrations of pesticides than others.

The following foods contain higher levels of pesticides:
Peaches
Apples
Bell peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Kale
Lettuce
Imported grapes
Carrots
Pears

The following "Clean 15" foods contain lower levels of pesticides:

Kiwis
Cabbage

Tomatoes
Sweet potatoes
A great source of seasonal organic produce is your local farmers market. All of the produce may not be "certified" organic (a process that takes 3 years). Just ask the seller how it was grown
