If you can buy all organic produce, go for it. But many people can’t because of the higher cost. The good news is it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

When you are looking to buy organic, pay attention to the thickness and toughness of the skin/peel/rind. The thicker it is, the less need there is to buy organic because the skin is protecting the meat of the produce from the pesticides sprayed on it.

So citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit for example) have thick skins, so you’re pretty safe from the harmful chemicals getting into the meat of the fruit. Pineapple, bananas, and squashes are the same way. Cucumbers, potatoes, and carrots are as well, but to a lesser extent. They have tougher skins for sure, but they’re not as thick and many people eat the skin. Plus many people don’t wash and/or peel properly.

But when you start getting into berries, tomatoes, and lettuces, anything where the bad stuff is sprayed directly on what you eat, you’d be well served buying organic when possible.

Taking baby steps like this will help keep you and your bank account healthier.
