So you don’t have to break your budget to keep eating, here are some foods that are deemed safe to eat without buying them organic. Again the rule of thumb is, if you peel it to eat it, then it is safe to buy non-organic.

  • Onions
  • Avocados
  • Sweet corn
  • Pineapples
  • Mango
  • Sweet peas
  • Asparagus
  • Kiwi fruit
  • Cabbage
  • Eggplant
  • Cantaloupe
  • Watermelon
  • Grapefruit
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Sweet Onion

This of course is not an exhaustive list because there are lots of foods missing here, some of them very commonly eaten like lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and carrots. If you can’t buy the unrated foods organic, maybe you can buy them at the local farmer’s market, or grow them yourself.

Organics, what’s it all about? To many it seems a big hype, but when people like Dr. Oz and Dr. Gupta start talking about foods that are better eaten organic, it might be time to sit up and listen.

There is a lot of evidence that these pesticides are causing illness and disease, but also excess weight gain as our bodies try to deal with toxins it was never meant to be introduced to. There is a rule of thumb. If the produce or fruit is soft, thin skinned, or you don’t peel it, then you should consider buying organic.
