Do your vegetables and fruits contain the nutrients you need?
Purchasing and eating vegetables and fruits does not guarantee you that you will provide your body with all the essential nutrients it needs on a daily basis. This is due to the majority of our soils being depleted in nutrients (selenium, zinc, etc.) and most of the fresh produce containing high levels of pesticides.
By choosing organic and biodynamic foods you can obtain the essential nutrients you need from your fruits and vegetables without exposing yourself to harmful chemicals. You can truly nurture your body and enjoy the health benefits when choosing organic.
Below is a list of vegetables and fruits which are most likely to contain high levels of pesticide residues:
- Carrots
- Garlic
- Celery
- Bell Peppers (Capsicum)
- Leafy greens (e.g. kale, spinach, silverbeet and bock choy)
- Lettuce
- Peaches
- Apples
- Nectarines
- Grapes
- Cherries
- Pears
- Strawberries
