The Dirty Dozen

I don't always say 'vegan' butter or 'vegan' milk but please know that everything I make is 100% vegan and when ever I use a word like 'milk' or 'cheese' know that I mean the vegan alternative. Also, I always try to use organic ingredients. I understand that because of availability or location organic items aren't always an option. Just be aware of the dirty dozen, the 12 most commonly contaminated fruits and veggies.

Peaches
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Pears
Grapes (Imported)
Spinach
Lettuce
Potatoes


Basically anything that you eat the skin or whole leaf of. A lot of groceries are now carrying organic frozen and canned produce making it easier to find. Fresh is always best but I'd rather buy frozen organic than contaminated fresh.
