Pondering produce choices

Eating healthy can be intimidating with all the choices out there.  Organic, free range, natural ingredients, non-GMO, 100% pure.  Even if you shop the perimeter of the store where the foods are displayed that are closest to their natural state, the choices are many.  Organic produce can be a big stumbling block, especially with todays inflated prices and reduced pocketbooks.  If you can only purchase a few kinds of produce from the organic aisle, take a look at the chart shown at the following link to make better choices about which kinds of produce have the least exposure to pesticides and chemicals.  The ones at the bottom of the scale (marked worst) are often referred to as the "dirty dozen" and if you're limited, at least try to purchase organic options for these foods.
