The Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen


Ken found a list of vegetables with the most and least contaminated fruits and vegetables published by the EWG (Environmental Working Group). We pass this on for people with limited access to organic produce or with tough economic choices. As always we recommend you eat our vegetables as you know how it was grown and that our soil produces nutrient dense food.

Here are the two lists:


The Dirty Dozen
celery
peaches
strawberries
apples
nectarines
bell peppers
spinach
kale
cherries
potatoes
imported grapes

The Clean Fifteen
onions
avocado
sweet corn
pineapple
mangoes
sweet peas
asparagus
kiwi
cabbage
eggplant
cantaloupe
watermelon
grapefruit
sweet potato
honeydew melon
