2 lists
The list of summer vegetables and fruit is growing and with it, my happiness. Today I picked a few plums (1st time ever), zucchini, squash, cucumbers, a few strawberries, and 8 eggs. I also shucked 3 dozen ears of corn I bought from a neighbor. It is the depiction of summer and so fulfilling to be involved with your food. We keep getting farther and farther away, however. Having a garden is not something reasonable for most, but the Farmer’s Market is a great place to go. Because of the chemicals used on commercially grown food and the distance it travels, there remains little nutrition.
Here is a quick list from Dr. Weil of 11 foods you do not have to buy organic:
- Asparagus
- Avocados
- Bananas
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Corn (sweet, frozen)
- Kiwi
- Mangos
- Onions
- Pineapples
- Peas (sweet, frozen)
I have posted this before, but while I am on the subject (my soapbox) I will post the list of the “Dirty Dozen”, the most chemically treated foods, foods you should buy organic :
- Celery
- Peaches
- Strawberries
- Apples
- Blueberries (Domestic)
- Nectarines
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Spinach
- Collard Greens/Kale
- Cherries
- Potatoes
- Grapes (Imported)
