Should you go organic? Everyone has to make this choice in her own kitchen with her own body and on her own budget and it’s not an easy one. The studies go back and forth on whether or not there are more vitamins and nutrients in the organically grown food. But, what if we are looking for the wrong thing? What if there are key micro nutrients and phyto nutrients that we don’t even know about yet that are being missed? The argument in favor of organic goes beyond that of what it may or may not do for your body into what pesticides are doing to the planet. The picture is still too new to be crystal clear. What we do know is that ANY vegetable is better for your body than no vegetable. If you can’t (or don’t believe you should or can afford to) go organic, do not let that stop you from eating more vegetables. We can all agree on that. The #1 vegetable on the store shelves is kale but no one knows how to prepare it. Here is a simple and insanely delicious recipe for a quick Pesto Kale Salad.
