The Dirty Dozen & The Clean Fifteen... a Shoppers Guide to Pesticides

The Dirty Dozen is a list of the 12 most pesticide contaminated fruits and veggies we consume. From nectarines and apples to celery and lettuce, this list provides percentages of pesticides, found on these fruits and veggies, from what they sampled in research. Read this list and you will now know why we need to EAT ORGANIC and pass the word along...

The Clean Fifteen is a list of the veggies least likely to have pesticides. This list excites me! My favorite stuff is on this one, from broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes to sweet corn and onions.

These lists were put together, after thorough research, by the Environmental Working Group, EWG. Check out their website and you can learn a thing or two!

Through the EWG's Shoppers Guide to Pesticides, you can also learn how to reduce exposure to pesticides, health effects of pesticides, and government regulations concerning pesticides. This site is super useful and informative so share this info with the one's you LOVE!

Another cool thing about this site is that they have a downloadable guide and an iPhone app!!! For the iPhone app, search for Dirty Produce in the App Store...
