The Environmental Working Group released their annual Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides. It details which fruits and veggies have the most and least pesticides. You might be surprised to hear that Apples top the Most Toxic list (and have for 4 years) because they are drenched with DPA, which is banned in Europe.

There are things you can do to eliminate the dangerous fruits and veggies. If you garden, you can grow the veggies yourself. Another option is to buy organic fruits and veggies or get unsprayed fruits and veggies at your Farmers Market.

At the very least the EWG list will help you to make informed decisions when you buy fruits and veggies at the store. This article lists the “Dirty Dozen” ~ the fruits and veggies with the most pesticides and also the 12 fruits and veggies with the least amount of pesticides.
