PrintWhy do you buy organic? To get more nutritious food, to help the environment, to avoid pesticides? Organic foods are not all necessarily more nutrient dense than conventional ones, and if they are the difference may not be enough to justify buying only organic. Organic farming is not as efficient as conventional farming and synthetic chemicals do drift over from neighboring fields and leach into the groundwater. So, why buy organic? Although I cannot answer this question for you, here you can find a list of the most and least contaminated produce items in order to decide for yourself.
