What’s This All About?
Did you know you could reduce your pesticide consumption by 80% if you avoid the top 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables or opt to buy them organic?

The good people at Environmental Working Group (EWG) have come out with their 2010 list which ranks 49 of the most popular fruits and vegetables and ranks them according to pesticide residue content.

Most notably are the most contaminated fruits and vegetables, those called the Dirty Dozen, which you should always buy organic or seek to replace with a safer option. Consider the cleanest at the bottom of the rankings, those called the Clean 15.
