The Environmental Working Group (EWG) put out a list last month of the "dirtiest fruit and vegetables." Those that contain the most pesticides. As the shopper in the family this piqued my interest.

1. Apples
2. Strawberries
3. Grapes
4. Celery
5. Peaches
6. Spinach
7. Sweet Bell Peppers
8. Nectarines (imported)
9. Cucumbers
10. Cherry Tomatoes
11. Snap Peas (imported)
12. Potatoes

To help you feel better...here's the "clean" list

1. Avocadoes
2. Sweet Corn
3. Pineapples
4. Cabbage
5. Sweet Peas (frozen)
6. Onions
7. Asparagus
8. Mangoes
9. Papayas
10. Kiwi
11. Eggplant
12. Grapefruit
13. Cantelope
14. Cauliflower

Or just buy organic and you're safe...maybe ;)
