Plus you will be safe in the knowledge that eating these foods won't harm your health.
The list of foods below will contain the least amount of pesticide residue when compared to other healthy foods.
The lower the level of pesticide residue will mean the lower the amount of harmful chemicals that enter your body.
Probably the number 1 reason why more people don't eat organic is PRICE.
Onions are actually naturally resistant to pests.
Avocado - Due to the thick, resilient skin of the avocado it is hard for pesticides to break through. Look for ones which aren't too ripe and are nice and firm.
Sweet corn - Buy fresh, delicious sweet corn from a local source if possible and you will struggle to beat the taste, they are in season late summer, so sadly we have just missed them.
Grapefruit - Once again the thick skin comes to the rescue with this food to help keep out the pesticides.
Mango - This is another fruit which is heavily protected from pesticides by its think skin.
Kiwis - The peel on the outside protects the kiwis from any pesticide residue slipping into the fruit.
Cabbage - Pesticides aren't really used to grow cabbage so there should be very little residue left on the cabbage when it makes it into your kitchen.
Aubergine - An aubergine's thick skin does a good job of keeping out pesticides and chemicals used in the growing process. Firm and glossy aubergines are the ones you should aim to buy.
Papaya - The pesticide residue can stay on the skin of the papaya so you will need to give it a good wash. Watermelon - Watermelons are great at keeping out harmful chemicals and toxins. Aim for the watermelons which are firm and don't contain soft spots.
Broccoli - You shouldn't have to worry about eating non organic broccoli, broccoli crops don't face too many pest threats which means it doesn't have to be sprayed so much by pesticides. Look out for deep green broccoli with firm stalks. Always wash 2-3 times before eating and store in the fridge.
Tomato - Cherry tomatoes were on the list of foods you need to eat organic but if you are growing your own or buying fresh in season tomatoes you should be okay.
Sweet potato - Sweet potatoes are a superfood, they're packed with so much goodness. You can get away with not buying organic mushrooms from the supermarket, if you do want to go one better though try growing them yourself or picking them up from a fresh farmers market.
So there we have the list of 18 foods you don't need to buy organically.
Buyer Beware
Remember our good old "trusty" government set the organic standards.
In 2007 they allowed organic farmers to use toxic pesticide chemicals because of the potato blight which nearly wiped out entire crops.
