Have you heard about the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen?”
January 12th, 2010
Many times when people are faced with buying organic produce they may ask if it’s worth spending the extra money that organic products command. Now the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has made that decision easier for all of us.
They have put together a great printable cheat sheet. You can download the PDF of it here.
The great part about this cheat sheet is that it lists the 12 foods that you should typically look for the organic version of, and also gives you several foods that carry lower pesticide loads and can be bought conventionally. I really like this guide because it takes the guess work out of buying produce.
Take a minute and download it, print it out, and take it to the store with you next time. Your body will thank you ![]()
I have it on my iPhone (yes there is even an app for that! haha).
I buy 95% organic but if I can’t find it it’s great to have the list. I use it also if eating out at a non-organic restaurant or peoples houses.
Yeah, the link that I included actually has the iPhone App available. Technology is pretty great
