6. Non-Organic Potatoes

Organic food experts won’t eat non-organic potatoes because they know most root vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, absorb everything that ends up in the soil, including herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides.

Potatoes are treated (sprayed) three times in their life cycle before they make it to the supermarket and washing them doesn’t remove what they have absorbed inside the vegetable.

There are organic food experts who have spoken to potato growers who say that they would never eat the vegetables they are growing and selling. Your alternative? Buy organic potatoes.  Or grow your own.

They take very little space and grow almost anywhere, including containers.
