That is the question.
I am talking about juicing of course and whether or not you should peel your veggies. Well here's the scoop, if your veggies are not organic then you do want to peel them because of the levels of pesticides that they contain.
Since most of the veggies that you would use to make a Green Juice are on the EWG's Dirty Dozen meaning they are the worst offenders for having the most residue from pesticides found on them, it is really a good idea to spend the extra money and go organic if at all possible.
Some of the The Clean 15 also defined by the EWG as having the lowest amounts of pesticides found in them are onions, sweet corn, pineapples, avacado, and cabbage. To see their complete list visit their website at: http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/
Even though it seems scary that we are eating these foods with some pesticide residue on them, the benefits of comsuming them far out way the benefits of avoiding them because of the pesticides.
When you cannot find the Organic ones, then make sure to wash your fruits and veggies really, really good, and then peel them too.
Always opt for Organic when you can find them, they are worth the extra money.
WE ARE ALL WORTH IT!
