Good news for urban fruit lovers

With concerns over lead levels in community gardens, a few researchers wondered if fruit from historical farms, urban parkland, and residential properties would be similarly afflicted. A least in the Greater Boston Area, they are not. In fact, the fruit appears to have higher calcium and "...on average, urban fruit contains a wider range of micronutrients than its commercial counterparts."

So eat that street peach!
