Turnips - Is it important to buy organic?

Is it very important to buy only organic turnip?

*****
Sassy Sez - The short answer is no.

Here is a longer answer:

Personally, I try to buy everything organic simply because there are more nutrients in organic food. But this is not always possible for everyone, especially because organics tend to be more expensive.

So if your purpose in buying organics is to avoid the greatest amount of pesticides, etc., then keep this list handy, known as the Dirty Dozen.

The Dirty Dozen are the 12 fruits and veggies that should be purchased organic due to the fact that they contain the greatest amount of pesticides/herbicides/etc.

Here is the most current list:

Lettuce
Celery
Spinach
Potatoes
Bell Peppers
Peaches
Strawberries
Apples
Nectarines
Pears
Cherries
Imported Grapes (remember this goes for wine too!)

As you can see, turnips are not among the Dirty Dozen so you do not have to purchase them organic. ;O)
