A couple of months ago, I was heading home from dropping my daughter off at school and heard two people on the radio in the middle of a passionate conversation about a surprising topic: fruit flies. I was instantly intrigued. The discussion was all about something all too familiar to many people, especially me: the constant battle against fruit flies.

Five Foods You Should Never Feed Your Cat and Why

Cucumbers are one of the few produces I keep stocked in my kitchen year-round. As a key ingredient in some of my favorite dishes like fattoush, gazpacho, and spicy smashed cucumber salad, this vegetable (a fruit, depending on who you ask) brings a burst of freshness to meals that really can’t be replicated by any other ingredient.

Think before you pop that tomato in your mouth as soon as you get home from the grocery. It's true that veggies can be some of the healthiest foods you put on your plate. But that's only if you properly wash the vegetables you plan on eating. You never know which produce you bring home will be completely covered in pesticides. And the bad news is that some types are far more apt to be swimming in pesticides than others.
