We\\nlearn how all about organic food and the importance of eating local from Nicci Micco, Senior Editor of EatingWell magazine. \\n

Eating organic berries instead of conventional\\nones can reduce your exposure to pesticides, and recent research\\nsuggests that it also may give you a nutrient boost.

According to Marissa Lippert\\u2019s, M.S., R.D. article\\nin this month\\u2019s Eating Well magazine the bottom line is\\u2026\\u201cEating more\\nfresh fruits and vegetables in general [not necessarily organic ones]\\nis the point,? says Alyson Mitchell, Ph.D., an associate professor of\\nfood science and technology at University of California, Davis.

\\n\\n\\n

If buying all organic isn\\u2019t a priority\\u2014or a\\nfinancial reality for you\\u2014you might opt for organic specifically when\\nyou\\u2019re selecting foods that are most heavily contaminated with\\npesticide and insecticide residues. According to the Environmental\\nWorking Group (www.ewg.org), those include peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, imported grapes and pears.
