Buy locally grown fruits and vegetables when possible, even if they aren’t certified organic. Locally grown and in-season foods are often your best bet at getting the most nutritious foods.
Growing up, if you had asked my little sister to rate my sharing skills on a scale from 1-10, she probably would’ve given me around a 4.73 (her math skills rate significantly higher).
Don’t worry - I’ve improved. In fact, I’ve noticed that sharing has become something my family does best. Which is why I wasn’t surprised to find this article from Shape in my inbox, sent to me by mother.
Which is also why I’m sharing it with all of you.
Eating organic and local can be confusing - and expensive! What I love about this article is it breaks down the advantages, lists the “Dirty Dozen” - the list of produce most affected by pesticides - and points out the fact that buying produce and close to you means you’re getting the most nutrients out of your food.
Happy eating!
