I'm sure that you have all been told that if you want to live a healthy life and eat healthy food then you should "switch to organic". This means eating organic fruits and vegetables which have not been treated with chemical fertilizers or pest control products. There are many reasons why organic food is so much better for us and for the environment, but they are also much more expensive then regular fruits and vegetables. So what if I told you there is a great way to balance the health benefits of organic food with a decent price?
Some fruits and vegetables are a lot less exposed and vulnerable to the chemicals used by conventional agriculture and as such as very safe to eat. By going over this list of products you can reduce the cost of your shopping cart by only buying the organic food that you really need to protect your family. You can feel safe to buy these non-organic items, and can save quite a bit of money by doing so:

Onion Because of its strong smell and taste, the onion doesn’t attract many pests, and therefore doesn’t need to be treated with any pesticides. This makes the onion a safe choice to buy from just about anywhere, with no need to pay extra. Just make sure that the one you buy doesn’t have any soft spots or signs of damage.

Avocado The avocado has a thick skin that protects the green flesh from pesticides. Search for one without any holes or missing parts in the skin and also one that's not too soft. It is still advisable to wash the avocado before cutting it to avoid any leftovers of chemicals from the outside mixing with what you'll eat.

Corn While corn does normally take a lot of fertilizers to grow, it's very unlikely that you will find any pesticides on it. A good way to tell if you are getting a healthy, clean, corn is to feel the green leafs around it. If they are smooth but not greasy to touch then you are safe to buy the corn.

Pineapple Like the avocado, the pineapple has a hard "shell" that keeps the inside unaffected by most of the things farmers spray on their crops. Don’t be tempted to buy the ones that smell too sweet or too strong, as they are usually too ripe.

Mango Look for bright consistent colors like red yellow and orange with a strong fruity smell. This will guarantee that you take a mango that has not been harmed by any pesticides or other hazardous compounds.Go to The NEXT Page for More Pictures >>>
