Looking for organic produce, but not sure you've got the real thing? Anna Lappe, organic food expert, shares tips on how to buy organic produce and tells why we should be buying organic when we can.
How to buy organic produce
First, let's explain what organic produce is:
Produce that is grown organically has not been produced with sewage sludge, it hasn't been irradiated, it doesn't include genetically modified foods, or most man-made chemicals.
How can you tell whether a piece of produce is organic?
If you're in a store that has an organic section, obviously head for it. But if there isn't an organic section, you have to do a little bit of extra work.
Why buy organic produce?
It's healthier for your body. It's healthier for the environment, since it doesn't require pesticides. It's healthier for the farm workers who handle the crops.
Babies and small children are especially vulnerable to residues of toxic pesticides and other chemicals.
