I typically buy organic when I can but I am fortunate to also live near sustainble farms to buy organic, as it's less expensive. This is actually why I started to have a garden again after my mum survived cancer, we've harvested quite a lot of our own produce last year. I do clean everything before eating. Wow, washing off your food should be a no-brainer, it's outrageous to think that there are people who don't clean food before eating! I hope you have a great week Rowena.FASHION TALEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964667264037413912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008249764191962870.post-12019645995172412562018-05-01T14:55:27.022-04:002018-05-01T14:55:27.022-04:00I don't always buy organic because of budget r...I don't always buy organic because of budget reasons but every time they are on sale, I'll snag some up. Shame about the dirty dozen list, there are a lot of my regulars listed there.

Speaking of oranges, have you tried Cara Cara oranges? I don't enjoy citrus that much but the ones from Freshdirect are out of this world sweet and delicious so we ended up ordering a whole box.

My mother is allergic to pesticide, so I learned to be extra careful during the years. She only eats organic food from sources she can trust ( like when she actually knows a person selling it). I think it's important to submerge the fruit & veggies in water and really wash them thoroughly. A quick wash probably won't do much good. Good to know about the dirty dozen. I heard strawberries can be tricky because water just flies off them, one needs to really submerge them in water multiple times- that's how I wash them anyway. Great to know about the clean fifteen too.Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008249764191962870.post-13234207529194914092018-04-30T11:57:23.969-04:002018-04-30T11:57:23.969-04:00I read about this the other day.. it's a sad s...I read about this the other day.. it's a sad state when eating something as simple as fruits and vegetables becomes such a stressful ordeal. <br /><br />http://www.henatayeb.blogspot.comHena Tayebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419428884435062756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008249764191962870.post-63567025545328505232018-04-30T11:05:12.352-04:002018-04-30T11:05:12.352-04:00Hmm, we actually eat many of the dirty dozen foods...Hmm, we actually eat many of the dirty dozen foods quite regularly!

Whenever possible I buy organic, which of course does not mean that you are safe from pesticides, but helps reduce the amount, and buy seasonal.
