All produce grows outside. Bugs and other creatures can touch it and even go to the bathroom near or on it. The non organic broccoli may not have live bugs because it was sprayed with toxic chemicals, but that doesn't mean that you aren't eat their carcasses. Wash your veggies and grow up.

I get broccoli from a farm and it does have those bugs on occasion. If you soak in water with plenty of salt for about 20 minutes, the bugs will die and float to the top. Still gross though!

This can happen. We had a garden growing up, and I'll never forget a night -- I was about 10 -- when we had broccoli with cheese sauce. It wasn't until halfway through dinner when we all realized the broccoli was full of big fat dead caterpillar things that were the exact same green as the broccoli. Really gross. My mother was not good about washing/inspecting produce.

So when you eat the conventional broccoli, your bugs will be dead!

I also have a very good childhood friend who has a farm with her husband (organic, sustainable). She does not spend half her day pulling bugs off of crops.


I grow some of my own food and the only plants infested with bugs are the unhealthy ones. Organic doesn’t mean a bunch of bugs. Stuff I buy at the farmers market is also fine. I’ve only had issues with Whole Foods organic.

I always find bugs in my Giant regular old broccoli. Kinda grossed me out. It unless it’s really bad I just do my best and move on. I have tossed it sometimes.

I found a little green wiggling worm in a raspberry once so now I check inside the raspberry before eating.
