Things You can Buy Safely (Non-organic)
Fruit
Avocado
Their thick skins that protect the fruit from pesticide build-up.
How to Buy it: You want an avocado that is slightly unripe and is firm tot
he squeeze, they will ripen in a few days of sitting on your kitchen counter
. Store at room temperature. Even though you won't be using the skin of the
avocado, be sure to rinse it anyway before you open it up.
Bananas
The banana peel isn't eaten and its where the pesticide stays.
How to Buy it: You'll want to think of how you are going to use the banana
before you choose it. If choosing green (where the peel is pale yellow and
the tips are green)
their taste will be somewhat tart. You will want to use these for frying or
baking
in a pie. If choosing where the peel is
mostly all yellow, the pulp will still be firm but their starch content
will have started to turn to sugar. These, as just as the green ones, work
best in pies and
tarts. If choosing banana with signs of
brown spots with the peel a deeper yellow color., the banana will be
sweetest in taste and work well mashed and added to baked goods like banana
bread recipes. Store at room temperature. If they're unripe, you can
place them in a brown paper bag to ripen.
Pineapple
It has a rough and spiny skin that protects it from pests and pesticide
residue.
How to Buy it: Although the sweet smell of
pineapple can be alluring, you don't want to use your nose on this one
because it usually means that it is overripe. Like any fruit, avoid
soft spots and also avoid damage to the rind. Store in the refrigerator
or on the counter if you plan to use with on a day or two.
Kiwi
Its fuzzy skin acts as a barrier to pesticides, but be sure to still give
them a rinse before use.
How to Buy it: When buying kiwi, you have to use your nose.
Sniff out kiwis that smell good. The kiwi you choose should be
plump and yield to a squeeze like that of a ripe pear. Don't pick any
with moist areas on their surface or any skin bruising. If unripe
kiwi are all that are available, simply take them home and place them
in a paper bag at room temperature with other fruits that need more
time, such as bananas or pears. Store in the refrigerator vegetable
drawer.
Mango
Another fruit that has thick skin that protects it from pesticides, but you
still want to rinse before use.
How to Buy it: There are different varieties of mangoes, but in general look
for those
that are bright in color such as red, yellow, or orange. You
can use your nose again here because it should have a significant
fruity smell, if not don't buy it. They should be slightly firm but
yield to your touch somewhat. (Usually the sweeter mango is the
one that is softer to the touch.) However, if it is too soft, it could
be rotten inside, so choose carefully. They are best stored in the
refrigerator fruit or vegetable drawer.
Papaya
Pesticide residue stays on papaya skin, but give them a rinse before using.
How to Buy it: Papaya colors come in colors ranging between yellow and
green.
Choose one that is slightly soft and show no signs of bruising or
that don't appear shriveled. If their not fully ripened you can put them in
a brown bag once you get home. If they are ripe, store in the refrigerator.
Vegetable
Asparagus
This vegetable faces fewer threats from pests, therefore needing less
pesticide.
How to Buy it: You
want firm spears with purplish or bright green tips.Buy about 1/2 pound
per person. Try to choose spears that are similar in size and thickness
to ensure uniform cooking. Keep them in the refrigerator vegetable
drawer and rinse before using (even if you're going to boil them).
Broccoli
Conventional broccoli crops face fewer pest threats, like asparagus, so they
require less pesticide use.
How to Buy it: It should be deep green in color and the stalks should be
firm and not rubbery. Wash in a cool water while changing the water a couple
of times in the
process before use. Store in the refrigerator vegetable drawer.
Cabbage
Like asparagus and broccoli, it doesn't need a lot of pesticides while it is
growing.
How to Buy it: You want a cabbage head where the leaves are tight, you also
want it to be heavy for its type and firm. For most cabbage
varieties, you'll want to make sure the outer leaves are shiny and
crisp. The exception to this rule is savory cabbage, as it forms a looser
head
and the leaves grow crinkly naturally. Don't buy any heads whose leaves are
yellowing. Bok choy should have deep green
leaves with their stems a crisp-looking white. Make sure to get remove the
outer leaves
of a cabbage before using it. Cabbage can be washed or spun, just as you
would lettuce. Store in the refrigerator vegetable drawer.
Onions
As many others listed they don't see as many pest threats, which means less
pesticide use.
How to Buy it: You want an onion that is firm and has a distinct onion smell
but not but not too strong. You also don't want to choose one with signs of
damage or soft spots. Keep in a cool dry place, or in the refrigerator.
Things to Buy Organic
Fruits and Vegetables:
With fruits and vegetables, many of them contain thin or edible skins than
cab contain pesticide residue. In addition, some of them have to be heavily
sprayed due to their high level of pests.
Check here for a list of fruits and vegetables ranks in order of most or
least pesticide load: http://foodnews.org/
(Arranged in order of highest to lowest pesticide load) Fruits: Peaches,
Apples, Nectarines, Strawberries, Cherries, Grapes, Pears, Raspberries,
Plums, Oranges, Tangerine, Cantaloupe, Lemon, Honeydew, Grapefruit,
Watermelon, Blueberries
(Arranged in order of highest to lowest pesticide load) Vegetables: Sweet
Bell Peppers, Celery, Lettuce, Spinach, Potatoes, Carrots, Green Beans, Hot
Peppers, Cucumbers, Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Winter Squash, Tomatoes, Sweet
Potatoes
Other:
Fair Trade Certified Coffee Beans: Check out this site to find out where to
buy them: http://www.transfairusa.org/content/WhereToBuy/
Milk: Check this site for a rated list of organic milk and other organic
diary products. http://cornucopia.org/dairysurvey/index.html
Meat: Organic meat is free of antibiotics, added hormones, and human growth
hormones (GMO). These animals are raised more ethically and humanely,
meaning they are allowed to range freely and not confined to pens. In
addition, the land that they eat from and live on uses no or less chemicals
as well.
Search the web or take a look in your local paper to find a local farmers
market or organic farm.
Hope this helps! And remember, if you can't afford organic food try to at
least buy things that are lower in pesticide loads.

一般的grocery store都有organic section吧,只要不是廉价批发超市。
再不行的话,就找附近的whole foods。

拜托,你真的看了那个新闻了吗。那个官司打的是牛奶包装盒上画的情况和实际奶牛饲
养的环境不一致有误导消费者之嫌,不是organic标签本身的问题。
