Hi, Blog Readers, Foodies, and Friends.
Just saw a cool article in "Cooking Light" magazine (one of my fav magazines). According to the Environmental Working Group, some fruits and veggies are least likely to contain trace levels of pesticides--so pricier organic options may not be necessary.
The Top 5 Fruits listed are:
1. Kiwifruit (yummy--and tons of Vitamin C)
2. Bananas (Potassium and versatile in baking)
3. Pineapples (my favorite fruit on this planet!)
4. Mangoes (becoming increasingly popular)
5. Avacados (ummm....guacamole anyone?)
The Top 5 Vegetables listed are:
1. Cabbage (almost 'slaw time folks!)
2. Onions (the most popular)
3. Broccoli (so versatile)
4. Eggplant
5. Asparagus (expensive enough! why add the "organic" price tag?..okay, YUMMY!)
I also read recently that a sign the economy is turning around is the increasing return of consumers to stores like Whole Foods and specialty Food Stores. Hope this information above helps you stretch your food dollars farther.
Happy Homecooking to you from the inn kitchens...
