What a great conference call the other night! If you missed it and are looking for the playback number it's (712) 432-1590 and the access code is 852622#.
It's great to know that we can do the raw "thing" and actually save money. We just have to be creative. I know some people wanted me to repeat the list of fruits and vegetables with the highest levels of pesticides consistently and the lowest consistently. Here they are..............................
Highest levels (also referred to as the "dirty dozen):
Peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes.
Lowest levels:
onions, avocados, frozen sweet corn, pineapple, bananas, mangoes, asparagus, frozen peas, kiwi, cabbage, broccoli and papaya.
Washing and peeling can reduce levels of some pesticides but doesn't totally eliminate them.
This information was found and published by the Environmental Working Group at http://www.ewg.org/
Shop local and look for the produce that has the lowest levels of pesticides and if you are stuck going to the grocery store, apply the same rule.
Good eatings!
Follow your Bliss!
