If you had to buy only 5 items of organic produce, what would they be?

What are the most worthwhile things to buy 'organic'?

Currently exclusively breastfeeding, planning what to buy nearly-6 month old for BLW weaning and I don't know whether it's worth it to buy organic for him, considering I don't eat any organic food at the moment, so he will have got lots of non-organic nastiness through my milk anyway. Should I bother or just save my pennies for something more interesting?

Milk
Broccoli
Chicken / Most meats if poss
Apples
Bread

That's just what I do buy, not necessarily what is best. The only thing I never ever (unless desperate) always buy organic is milk after reading about mucus levels in non-organic milk.

meat
milk
butter
all veg, if I had to choose it would be carrots and apples
yoghurt

organic peppers are tastier than normal ones.

in general, anything that's on special price or is not much more expensive.

yeah but you can't opt out of paying the taxes if you buy organic can you? So it will still be more expensive.

Mucus in milk is a myth Egg.

OMDB,

Do you mean superior in taste or quality as in lack of pesticides etc?

IwantYourNickname · 24/06/2008 15:22

over - i would have thought that the tax is included in the price. will check that next time i buy organic. still, if it's cheaper than the normal one I would buy it.

Milk, as much veg as we can, chicken, salmon.
Haven't they proved conclusively that milk has more omega and other stuff?
Grapes, carrots and apples are intensively sprayed.
