The Necessary Foods to Always Buy Organic (And The Top Foods Not To)

Peaches & Nectarines: Organic

These juicy stone fruits have thin, edible skins that are very delicate, therefore, both peaches and nectarines are often sprayed with various dangerous pesticides to keep them from rotting too quickly and to keep pests from eating them. Approximately ninety-nine percent of all peach and nectarine samples that were used to test for pesticides by researchers reported pesticide residue, and on average, peaches were discovered to contain residue of four different pesticides. Even if a peach or nectarine are peeled, traces of these chemicals will remain on the fruit. Doctors and nutritionists alike often recommend buying the organic version of both of these delectable fruits, especially if a woman is pregnant or if these fruits are given to children.
