Re: When organic is not available?
Beating Cancer with Nutrition - (book I am studying now!) but ... he says that there isn't that much difference (really!) from organic to non-organic - and sometimes the price tag on the organic veg and fruits is so high it puts it out of normal reach. He suggests you eat as much fresh (raw!) veg and fruit as you can and just soak it in water and vinegar for like 15 minutes (think thats what he said? But I do it for at least 15) before rinsing and storing in the fridge. I make my day of bringing home veg from the store into a cleaning, washing and then re-placing in the fridge ready for use ... it seems to work well.
The important thing is to wash it good - and don't buy that pre-packaged crap salad! :-) If you do --- wash it too!
:-) I have a salad spinner that works well for spinach and greens and also radish leaves which I have just found are not bad sautéed! I hate to throw away something they have charged me for "by the kilo" here in Italy. ;-)
