OK, so what's the big deal? Some, even more cynical than I, believe that produce labeled as organic is a big fat fib - a type of conspiracy against the public in an attempt to charge more money.
To me, the proof is in the taste of the pudding. Organic produce may sometimes be slightly diminutive, beautifully asymmetrical, vibrantly colorful and remarkably more delicious!
When offered the choice, I will purchase organic for all of my produce. However, if you're budgeting, a wee bit skeptical or slightly in doubt - remember the dirty dozen and purchase those items in the organic produce section!
Non organic produce that is very heavily sprayed with pesticides:
