The dirty dozen
Published
Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) publish a list of fruits and vegetables that have the highest amount of pesticide residue left on the skin once it has been washed and prepared, when grown on a non-organic farm.
Often, the benefits of that fruit or veg are completely lost because of these residues. 2022’s list from worst to a little less worse is:
1. Strawberries
2. Spinach
3. Kale and spring greens
4. Nectarines
5. Apples
6. Grapes
7. Peppers
8. Cherries
9. Peaches
10. Pears
11. Celery
12. Tomatoes
