Whenever you are shopping for produce, you will have to choose between organic and non-organic. While it would be healthiest to only buy organic products for your juicer recipes, some produce stores may not offer organic counterparts of some fruits and vegetables. However, not all produce contains significant amounts of pesticides and are safe to buy their non-organic forms.

When it comes to going organic, here is a list of healthy foods to eat. The top 12 foods on the list, also known as the dirty dozen, are as follows:

Dirty Dozen:

Peach
Apple
Sweet Bell Pepper
Celery
Nectarine
Strawberries
Cherries
Kale
Lettuce
Grapes – Imported
Carrot
Pear

The bottom 12 fruits and vegetables that contain the fewest amount of chemicals are as follows:

Watermelon
Papaya
Eggplant
Cabbage
Kiwi
Sweet Peas – Frozen
Asparagus
Mango
Pineapple
Sweet Corn – Frozen
Avocado
Onion

Besides this list, there are plenty of reasons to go organic. Farmers that grow organic products help the environment. By not using herbicides and pesticides, they don’t contaminate and poison the air, soil, water, or animals. Buying organic products helps out the small local farmers to keep producing organic crops, and not have to settle with factory farm GMO crops.

Even if you do not convert to an organic diet, you should at least use this list as a guide as to what produce to buy organic for your easy juicer recipes.
