Trying to save a little money, here is a tip!

Where to Spend & Save on Organic

Okay, so it's the holidays and money is being spent, and if you are like me I always go overboard for my kids!  I love Christmas!  I would like a little snow, that would be so great but either way, I love Christmas!!  I think you get the point :)  Anyway...here is a small tip that may help out, at least with the groceries, this season!

Have you ever heard of the Dirty Dozen? It’s the 12 kinds of produce that you absolutely MUST buy organic because they are most heavily sprayed with pesticides.Pesticides contribute to toxicity in the body, which means that we are more likely to suffer from allergies, a weakened immune system, and digestive problems, among other things.

Many fruits and vegetables that have thin skins or have skins that you eat are toxic when bought conventional. As a general rule of thumb, you want to make sure that anything you buy that has a thin skin is organic, as this will limit the amount of environmental toxins entering your body that wreak havoc on your health.

While it is always best to buy organic whenever possible, this doesn’t work for every budget. The Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen were created for this exact reason:  to help you know the top 12 foods that you MUST buy organic and the top 15 that can be bought conventional.


DIRTY DOZEN:

  • Peaches
  • Apples
  • Sweet Bell Peppers
  • Celery
  • Nectarines
  • Strawberries
  • Cherries
  • Pears
  • Grapes (Imported)
  • Spinach
  • Lettuce
  • Potatoes
CLEAN FIFTEEN:

  • Avocados
  • Sweet corn
  • Pineapples
  • Cabbage
  • Sweet peas (frozen)
  • Onions
  • Asparagus
  • Mangoes
  • Papayas
  • Kiwi
  • Eggplant
  • Grapefruit
  • Cantaloupe (domestic)
  • Cauliflower
  • Sweet potatoes


    I hope this helps a little in this season as well as in everyday grocery buying.  Every little bit helps!

    Have a great Holiday season and Thanks for reading!
