It's good for you and the environment!⁣ ⁣ To help you at the grocery store, our favorite trick for prioritizing what organic produce to buy is LEAFY (kale, spinach, lettuce), BERRY (all the berries), SKINS (anything you eat the skins of like apples, tomatoes, eggplant...etc). Leafy, berry, skins!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣

Besides being better for the planet, they are actually better for your health. Canned food is pretty much always lined with BPA, which can leach into your food. And well, plastic is plastic! Learn more about how to stock up your pantry in a healthier way for all those last minute pantry raid meals.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣
