To help supplement the five easy ways to eat organic, the Environmental Working Group has crunched the numbers and come up with a handy list of the "dirtiest" (and "cleanest") fruits and vegetables, in terms of pesticide residue you'll encounter in foods by the time they gets to the grocery store.
Peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines and strawberries top the list of the fruits and veggies to avoid, followed by cherries, lettuce, grapes (imported), pears, spinach, and potatoes; these are the best choices for you to buy organic and keep pesticides out of your kitchen. Incidentally, at the bottom of the list are onions, avocados, sweet corn (frozen), pineapple, mangoes, sweet peas (frozen), asparagus, kiwi, bananas, and cabbage.
