Why Buy Natural and Organic Honeydew Melon

Honeydew Melon ranks among the Clean Fifteen, or fruits safest to eat when conventionally grown. That said, nearly 60 percent of Honeydews had detectable pesticides! Only 14.2 percent of samples contained more than one residue, which is why they got their clean ranking. Of course, purchasing organicallygrown fruits and vegetables is about more than avoiding chemicals in your own body. Honeydew that has been grown with pesticides contaminates our soil, air and waterways. So, we say purchase your ripe, juicy Honeydew from the farmers market from an organic farmer for the tastiest melon experience.
