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

Grapes: Organic

During their testing of numerous crops, the EWG uncovered a scary truth about grapes: one single grape contained fifteen different pesticides on it. The EWG found that more than ninety-six percent of all samples of grapes contained a traceable pesticide residue. Considering grapes tend to ripen quickly and draw many insects to it due to it’s fragrant and delicious nature, grapes are often sprayed with a variety of chemicals to keep them untouched by insects and in perfect condition for eating. If you cannot afford to splurge on organic grapes (as they can get pricey) or you cannot find them, try buying seasonally from a local farmer’s market or source and ensure you wash them thoroughly before consuming.
