Dirty Dozen
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has a list of the one dozen fruits and vegetables highest in pesticides. These are best avoided unless purchased organic. Their dirty dozen includes, in alphabetical order: 
- apples
- bell peppers (sweet)
- celery
- cherries
- grapes
- lettuce
- nectarines
- peaches
- pears
- potatoes
- spinach
- strawberries
With fruit season almost upon us, I hope this list is useful.
Never miss a recipe!
