    Good to know! There are a few things on the list I’ve been buying organic when able to and they cost a lot more. Thanks!

    Having lived in West Michigan very near blueberry fields I know that they do spray pesticides. Be careful!

    There is more to organic certification than the amount of chemical residue found – the whole issue of the nutritional value is therefore ignored. The basis of any successful organic farm is a healthy humus rich soil, if the soil isn’t rich in humus which allows the plant to feed in the correct manner, then the plant won’t be as healthy. I’ll stick to buying organic where possible.

    Hi Becky,

    Do you mind sharing your sources for this info? I’d love to check how it equates for Australian produce, if I can. My list of the ‘dirty dozen’ includes broccoli and blueberries, so I was surprised to see those on your list.

    Thanks, Elowyn

    Can’t believe that re broccoli… Or grapes or onions… And what about heavy metals? Many conventional fertilisers have a lot of cadmium in them. And what of nutrient content at picking? If they’re grown in soil that lacks microorganisms and mycorrhiza due to conventional practices they’re already depleted even before storage..
