Always organic?

Many people buy organic produce because they don’t want to ingest pesticides with their cauliflower and studies have shown that organic fruits and veggies might actually contain more nutrients than their nonorganic counterparts. But in these days of penny pinching, buying organic can seem impossible. Well, the Daily Green (www.thedailygreen.com), which has created a list of the “Dirty Dozen” foods to buy organic, just came out with a similar list of the “Clean 15” foods that are OK to buy nonorganic—because they’re the least likely to contain pesticide residue. Here they are:

Onion

Avocado

Sweet corn

Pineapple

Mango

Asparagus

Sweet pea

Kiwi

Cabbage

Eggplant

Papaya

Watermelon

Broccoli

Tomato

Sweet potato
