So, I love Spinach but apparently they are sprayed with a lot of insecticides to repel crop eating insects and this rules out Spinach for me. How worried should I be about the use of fertilizer for crop production?

P.S: I have been hearing a lot about sweet potatoes and how they are the perfect food but I was wondering how those were grown, do they use a lot of harmful fertilizer or anything along those lines?

Thanks for all your answers guys :)

    Tea (oolong, black, green, white) all comes from one plant. Camellia sinensis. Each type is just processed in different ways.

    Camellia sinensis is quite susceptible to fungus, such that it’s marinated in fungicide. Usually 3 fungicides.

    Your bananas, before delivery, are submerged in a vat of liquid fungicide so they can travel.

    The good news is greens are fast and easy to grow. You can grow quite a lot of them year round, on your terms.
