Organic v non "dirty dozen"

Apparently there are better and worse fruits and veggies to eat, in terms of pesticide residue and other noxious substances. So the dirty dozen especially are things that you are going to want to buy organic.

"Dirty Dozen," and (starting with the worst) they are:

celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries (domestic), nectarines, sweet bell peppers, spinach, kale/collard greens, cherries, potatoes and grapes (imported).



And you can feel good about buying the following 15 conventionally grown fruits and vegetables that
the EWG dubbed "The Clean Fifteen," because they were shown to have little pesticide residue:

onions, avocado, sweet corn (frozen), pineapples, mango, sweet peas (frozen), asparagus, kiwi fruit, cabbage, eggplant, cantaloupe (domestic), watermelon, grapefruit, sweet potatoes and honeydew melon.
