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.
