FW: ] new Dirty Dozen Produce List- Blueberries:(

[Guest guest]

Cyndi,

 

That’s cute but didn’t include

blueberries (that I could see). I was sorry to see them at #5. It did have

raspberries. I wonder if it was an older version…Links to EWGs lists

below.

The Washington, D.C.-based

nonprofit Environmental Working Group

is offering an exclusive first look at its updated 2010 Shopper's Guide to

Pesticides, which includes the Dirty Dozen—a list of the 12 fruits and vegetables

highest in pesticide residue. EWG’s

research shows that people who eat five fruits and vegetables a day from the Dirty Dozen list consume an average of 10 pesticides a day.

Yum.

 

If you’re familiar with the old list, you’ll notice a few changes

in the latest iteration. Celery, which formerly was the fourth filthiest

produce pick, is now top of the heap. Pears and lettuce dropped off the Dirty

Dozen list this year (though they’re still not the cleanest). And

blueberries and kale got the honor of joining the list this

round—blueberries rank fifth for pesticide residue and kale ranks ninth.

 

Dirty Dozen

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 (imported)

 

Study the list, so you can help customers make informed decisions about their

produce picks. In addition to the Dirty Dozen, the EWG

lists the Clean 15, the produce lowest in pesticide residues.
