However, not everyone can afford to go 100% organic every time they shop. This app is a guide to which fruits and vegetables you should buy organic. There are some fruits/veggies that you should always buy organic, if possible, because their conventionally grown counterparts tend to be laden with pesticides.

WHAT ARE PESTICIDES
Pesticides are used to repel, control or kill organisms in order to reduce their negative impact on agricultural products. Modern pesticides target weeds, insects, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other pests that reduce agricultural yield.
Excessive pesticide contamination can be harmful to human health. Even after washing, some fruits and vegetables consistently carry much higher levels of pesticide residue than others.

Pesticide information was taken from the latest FDA study published 2014.

This app is helping me make healthier choices and save money. Also, when an item isn’t organic it doesn’t just tell me it’s not, but explains to me why. Highly recommend this app if you want to expand your knowledge in what to buy organic.
Corn
Organicqueen
Why would they label corn as green, almost all corn unless labeled organic is genetically modified and therefor not safe to eat. It should be in the red. Makes you question the reliability of the rest of their ratings....
