10 Organic Foods That Aren’t Worth Buying

Sweet Corn

Whether fresh or frozen, sweet corn is a delicious year-round treat that is also low in pesticides. The USDA found no detectable chemicals on almost all the samples it tested. “The pesticide residue profiles for sweet corn—fresh or frozen—are very similar,” says Forumzis. “Generally neither form of corn has very many pesticides on it.” A great alternative during the cooler months, frozen corn is generally picked and processed at the height of the growing season, making it about as nutritious and tasty as fresh.
