I don't feel so bad for not eating enough fruits and veggies now lol! Thanks for the info, good to know
Before I left for Spain i stopped at the health store and picked up this wash that gets rid of most pesticides and chemicals on fruit and vegetables. At least the list helps when your going grocery shopping and not sure which organic produce to buy!!!
