Best places to find organic foods

ST. PAUL, Minn. With the spring semester already in full force, it won’t be long before everything is turning up green—and if this blog works, the green will also be turning up on your plate. But eating green isn’t just about where to find the best salads in town. It’s also where to find hints on where you can find organic food.

For the unfamiliar, organic fruits and vegetables are gown without harmful fertilizers and harmful pesticides. And organic meats come from animals that are not raised with antibiotics and growth hormones. It’s natural and for the most part, not processed like most of the food in the student union.

Feeling like you just can’t wait to start eating organic? Until the next blog, here are the easiest places to find organic foods around town.

Food Conspiracy Co-Op: It’s a not-for-profit natural foods market located at 412 North Fourth Avenue, on the other side of the street from our favorite bars, Maloneys, O’Malleys and Plush. They sell delicious natural fruit bars.

Trader Joe’s: There are plenty of Trader Joe’s to choose from with plenty of locations to choose from. The must have item for me is all natural pomegranate juice. Sometimes I even go for the grapefruit.

Wild Oats Natural Market: Sometimes known as Whole Foods, the closest on is on 3360 East Speedway Boulevard. Check out the fresh produce as well as the selection of natural cosmetics.

Until next time, happy eating.
