Café Chocolate Lititz : Café | Buy Organic?

Café Chocolate believes that organic farming practices are good for our farmers’ health, and good for our earth and water, not our health alone. If you are interested in organic food, here's a look at what's probably worth paying extra for to get organic, and what might not be:

Worth Buying Organic Not Worth Buying Organic
  • Apples, peaches, bell peppers, strawberries, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, potatoes, carrots: Conventional versions have higher levels of pesticides than other produce, although still well within safe limits.
  • Milk and dairy products: Free of the growth hormones that are given to conventionally raised cows.
  • Meat and poultry: Free of growth hormones and antibiotics.
  • Baby food: Free of pesticide residues found in vegetables and fruits.
  • …and foods you eat a lot of.
  • Broccoli, bananas, frozen sweet peas, frozen corn, asparagus, avocados, onions: Levels of pesticides are low even in conventional versions of these.
  • Seafood: No USDA organic certification yet exists for seafood. Even seafood raised in the wild can contain mercury, PCBS and other contaminants.
  • Some processed foods such as breads, chips, pasta, oils: They often do have whole grains or other healthful ingredients, but processed foods may also contain non-organic ingredients, and processing in general removes many nutrients
  • …and foods you eat only occasionally.
