Avocados don't need to be organic although organic avocados can be a bit healthier due to the lack of pesticides
Although avocados do have a thick and protective skin, which shields the avocados from the pesticides and other chemicals that are used in growing them.
Avocados are actually one of the Clean 15 fruits and vegetables which have the lowest levels of pesticides.
Non organic avocados are safe to consume although you might want to wash them with some baking soda before eating them but it's not always necessary.
If you cannot afford the organic avocados the regular avocados are just fine to eat.
