12 Dirtiest Fruits and or Veggies

The Environmental Working Group’s annual Dirty Dozen list is out!

Compiled every year, EWG’s list includes the produce subject to the highest numbers of pesticides – more than 60 pesticides, in some cases – and suggests alternatives if organic options aren’t available.

Of course, it’s always smart to wash all your produce.

1. Celery
2. Peaches
3. Strawberries
4. Apples
5. Blueberries
6. Nectarines

7. Bell peppers
8. Spinach
9. Kale
10. Cherries
11. Potatoes
12. Grapes


Safest on the list? The humble yet dependable onion.

Don’t let the Dirty Dozen intimidate you. Eat your veggies.
