The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit organization that advocates for

policies that protect global and individual health. They currently tested 43

different _fruits and vegetables_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/fruits_and_vegetables.html) , and found that these

12 carried the least amount of pesticides when grown conventionally.

 

* Broccoli * Eggplant

 

* Cabbage * Banana

 

* Kiwi * Asparagus

 

* Sweet peas * Mango

 

* Pineapple * Sweet corn (frozen)

 

* Avocado * Onion

 

Of the 43 different fruits and _vegetables_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/vegetables.html) tested, the following 12 carried

the highest amount of pesticides when grown conventionally, and are therefore

the most important to buy organic.

 

* Peaches * Apples

 

* Sweet bell peppers * Celery

 

* Nectarines * Strawberries

 

* Cherries * Lettuce

 

* Grapes (imported) * Pears

 

* Spinach * Potatoes

 

So there you have it... if you aren't going to go 100% organic so that you can

save a few pennies, you now know which _fruits_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/fruits.html) and vegetables to make absolute sure

are organic, and which ones you can save a little on when necessary.
