With all the concerns in our food supply, lists from the Environmental Working Group are incredibly helpful for sorting out the best and worst foods from a pesticide vs. organics choice at the grocery store. EWG recently placed apples at the top of their list of foods to purchase organically due to the pesticide content that just cannot be washed off. My family has chosen organic apples for years now, mostly due to the wonderful sweetness and crisp texture that is consistently found in every apple! As a child, that is what was expected from an apple; but marketing, and hybridizing changed all that flavor into perfectly "red" apples that were tasteless.
To encourage you to reclaim apples as a sweet treat in your life that just might improve your health as well, remember the saying, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!" and read the benefits in the following article: The Delicious Dozen: 12 Healthy Reasons to Eat an Apple a Day | SYS-CON MEDIA
Enjoy an organic apple today!
