12 Foods We Should Eat Organic AKA "The Dirty Dozen"

The foods known as "The Dirty Dozen" look healthy, but unless you eat them organic, you are consuming some of the highest levels of toxicity in food today! Yikes, right?

Apples

Blueberries

Cucumbers

Lettuce

Sweet Bell Peppers

Celery

Grapes

Nectarines

Peaches

Potatoes

Spinach

& Strawberries

If you don't feel like you can buy organic quite yet because of the costs, try soaking your fruits and vegetables in a sink full of cold water with a cup of vinegar added to it. I usually let them soak a while depending on what it is. Strawberries tend to go soggy fast after this process and nectarines and peaches may get leathery, so I have switched to organic completely with those. YOU will be amazed at how dirty the water is when you are done, give them a final rinse. This doesn't 100% solve the toxicity problem, but definitely helps!

**UPDATE** I hear if you only do your strawberries, nectarines, and peaches for 10 minutes they come out fine. When I try it I will update you!
