SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Would you pay three dollars for a pound of apples? Or two fifty a pound?

Some consumers choose to pay more for organic fruits, vegetables and meats.

But a new research says, organic, or non-organic.

For example, if you're buying an apple, all apples carry the exact same nutritional value.

Some people told 22News, they still prefer organic products because they are free of pesticides.

Bette Sobotka says, “You're looking at something that's a lot more flavorful. It doesn't taste like it's been in the refrigerator without any flavor. I really don't care for those kinds of fruits and vegetables. “

Some people said they would buy organic products if they were cheaper.
