Buying organic fruits and veggies

One of the trendiest grocery options on the market is buying organic produce. Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables have many upsides, including an increase in nutrients, omega 3-fatty acids, and less toxic metals and pesticide residue according to the Mayo Clinic. 

Many organic fruits and veggies that are staples in everyone’s fridge can be treated with NatureSeal Fresh-Cut Produce Extender to keep them looking fresh for longer! Here are some you can try: 

Avocados 

One of the cleanest organic fruits you can choose for your grocery list is the ever so reliable avocado! With a lesser amount of pesticide residue versus its conventional counterpart, “studies have linked higher consumption of organic foods to lower urinary pesticide levels, improved fertility and birth outcomes, reduced incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and lower BMI” cited by the Environmental Working Group.  

Avocados can match-up with many different dishes, leaving you with a variety of unique recipes to choose. A fan-favorite recipe for many avocado enthusiasts is the Taco Stuffed Avocado perfected by The Recipe Critic, combining tasty taco ingredients inside a fresh avocado. NatureSeal for Guacamole & Avocado will prevent browning of sliced avocados for up to ten hours, giving you more than enough time to enjoy this fantastic recipe! 

Apples 

Organic apples can make for a very healthy snack during any time of the day! On the other hand, non-organically grown apples have “more pesticide residue on it than any other fruit or vegetable“. The sweet tasting flavor and the prospect of not having this fruit grow within an abundance of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides makes the organic choice the best option on the market. 

If you’re looking for some recipes for your organic sliced apples treated with NatureSeal, look no further than a Chocolate-Rasberry Apple Slice recipe by Alberta Co-op. Enjoy this simple recipe knowing your delicious apples are fresher and healthier than the conventional apple!
