With our nation becoming increasingly focused on enriching our bodies every possible way we can, organic food has become a staple in American food culture.
However, organic sometimes means more expensive, so here are a 6 foods that DON’T need to be organic and are very unlikely to be affected by those dangerous chemicals we’re so afraid of.
Avacados: Thick skinned fruits and vegetables like avacados are pretty safe from being affected by any chemicals. To be safe, just wash the skin before cutting to get rid of any residue.
Eggs: Research has shown that factory eggs don’t have higher quantities of contaminants than organic eggs.
Frozen Food: The chance of ingesting harmful chemicals from frozen food in plastic bags is pretty low since the risk of exposure to dangerous chemicals is heightened by heat.
Spices: According to experts, when using spices we consume such small amounts of the actual root vegetable, that the risk of any chemical exposure is very small.
Clothing: Organic cotton is great for the enviroment, but the benefits to your personal health are unclear because it is unlikely that pesticides remain in clothing in quantities large enough to seep into our bodies.
