Expensive Organic foods.How to clean the Dirty Dozen

In our society today it is so important to know the quality of the foods we are eating and feeding our family. It has been said that the average Americans consumes nearly 1/2 gallon of pesticides a year. Apples are a number one culprit. Not just to skin but into the meat of the fruit itself as the chemicals are added as they are grown. I have also been reading a lot about organic coffee and how much non organic contains chemicals .My next splurge will probably to costcos web page to order some organic that is highly rated by it's user.

Here is a list of the foods along with a recipe to clean them as much as possible . Hopefully this will keep your family healthier.
