These Supermarket Myths Are Wasting Your Money

Myth: Organic means more nutritious

It’s no secret that organic foods contain fewer pesticides, but that doesn’t always mean they are more nutritious. In fact, when researchers at Stanford University compared organic and non-organic foods, they found very little difference in nutritional content between the two.

Still, you can’t go wrong with buying organic apples, peaches, and spinach, which tend to have the most pesticide residue when grown conventionally. Organic fruits and veggies with a skin you don’t eat, like bananas and avocados, aren’t worth the money unless your goal is to support organic farming methods.
