The issues with produce and what to watch for!
We all know the importance of daily consumption of fruits and vegetables.
They are essential to our well-being and most of us need more than what we currently consume.
What's equally important is knowing how to choose the best quality, least pesticide ridden produce.
The chart below from Consumers Reports is extremely helpful. One you will want to save.
"Consumer Reports, which has tracked the use of pesticides on produce for decades, has seen this pattern repeat itself over and over. “It’s two steps forward and one step back—and sometimes even two steps back,” says James E. Rogers, PhD, who oversees food safety at CR."
"To get a sense of the current situation, CR recently conducted our most comprehensive review ever of pesticides in food. To do it, we analyzed seven years of data from the Department of Agriculture, which each year tests a selection of conventional and organic produce grown in or imported to the U.S. for pesticide residues. We looked at 59 common fruits and vegetables, including, in some cases, not just fresh versions but also canned, dried, or frozen ones."
Here is an excerpt of the chart.
