Organic When You Can, But If You Can’t: 10 Fruits And Vegetables That Don’t Have To Be Organic

When it comes to food, we recommend eating organic. That being said, the realities of life don’t always allow us to be 100% organic. So when you have to give up something, where should you start? According to the Daily Green, here is a list of 10 fruits and vegetables that’s you don’t necessarily have to buy organic (all the time). Why don’t these need to be grown organically? Well, most of the following “face fewer threats from pests such as insects or disease, so fewer pesticides need to be used OR have thick skins that protect the fruit from pesticide build-up.”

Asparagus
Avocado
Bananas
Broccoli
Clean Cabbage
Kiwi
Mango
Onions
Papaya
Pineapple
