Food item that is best bought organic

According to consumers union and the environmental working group, one way to buy will be to buy only organic produce instead of non-organic for those foods where the non-organic options have been proven to have the highest pesticide levels. Although there is no evidence that fruits and vegetables with higher residue pose a hazard, selecting the organic versions of these is logical and wise.
