Buying Organic Food on a Budget
Filed under Organic Food | Comments (7)
If you're on a budget and can't afford to buy everything organic, you can still reduce the amount of pesticides on your dinner plate by shopping wisely. Knowing which foods contain the most pesticide residues can make your budget organic shopping easier. For example, strawberries and apples have high pesticide residues and should be bought organic whenever possible. Ditto for celery, spinach, bell peppers, and pears.
Which foods are safe? A good rule of thumb is whether the produce has removable skin. Avocados, bananas, onions, pineapples, kiwis, papayas, oranges, and corn can all be bought non-organic without too much worry.
Another way to buy affordable organic produce is to shop at farmers' markets. There's often a good selection of organic produce. Or you can go straight to the farms themselves. In California, many farms have stands that sell organic produce at prices much lower than you'll find in the local supermarket or health food store.
I really don't think buying organic is that much more expensive in the long run. If you care about organic food then you probably aren't buying all the junk food out there...and you're saving all that money!
It drives me nuts that I can't ever find good organic apples. And now that I know about the pesticides in them I can't bear to buy regular ones.

A healthy digestive system plays a large part in your overall health and wellness. To begin, if your digestive system isn’t working well, it’s tough for your body to get all of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat. Now add daily stresses, poor diet, antibiotics, travel, and other things we deal with every day, and it’s pretty easy for your body to get out of balance.
Try the probiotic foods and keep your digestive system balanced and healthy.
