Peppers are hot in today's cuisine, but did you know that they could be toxic unless you know how to buy them?

Two types of food that contain trace levels of highly hazardous pesticides are leafy greens - kale and collard greens - and hot peppers. They were frequently found to be contaminated with insecticides toxic to the human nervous system. The Environmental Working Group (EWG.org) recommends that you buy organic instead. Source.

Did you know that less than one percent of our farmland is dedicated to growing organic crops. If we invested more in organic farming, we’d not only protect the environment, but we’d make organic food more affordable and accessible for everyone – meaning more clean, healthy food for our families, grown right here in the United States.
