Food and cooking tips

Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient

According to the EWG (Environmental Working Group) the 12 most contaminated foods are:

apples

nectarines
