One way to remember the difference between the toxic and safe lists:

- The safe foods have thick rinds that you usually don’t eat. There are a few exceptions; for example, asparagus and mushrooms spring up so fast that the insects don’t have time to attack. Sweet potato has its own unique bug protection.
- The dangerous list can be generalized as the foods that have lots of surface area, such as leaves or skin, which we eat.

Some people are still a little cautious of the organic produce food found in large regular stores, which you can’t always verify.
