Always Buy Organic: eggs. Organic eggs come from chickens that haven't been treated with antibiotics or given processed animal feed -- and they taste better, too! Free-range chickens eat only things that are tasty to them, like insects and fresh greens. Those foods lead to tastier eggs with denser yolks and harder shells. Look for farm-fresh eggs at local farmers markets to taste the difference.

Always Buy Organic: kale. America's favorite new superfood happens to be hard to grow, despite its hearty and robust nature. Kale attracts different types of crop-damaging insects, so many farmers use heavy amounts of pesticide to control infestations, which can lead to a large concentration of chemicals on your kale salad. If you want to enjoy the health benefits of dark, leafy kale, look for organic or triple wash conventional varieties.

Always Buy Organic: raisins. In independent studies, up to 26 pesticides have been found on conventional grapes. Fresh grapes are plucked and dried to make raisins, leaving you to question how well the grapes are washed before the drying process begins. And since grapes are thin-skinned, whatever is sprayed on them is often absorbed into the fruit. Give the popular snack an eco upgrade and always choose organic.
