The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists are out. If you’re trying to avoid pesticides, you’ll get the most bang for your buck if you buy the following 12 fruits and vegetables organic:
- Strawberries
- Spinach
- Nectarines
- Apples
- Grapes
- Peaches
- Cherries
- Pears
- Tomatoes
- Celery
- Potatoes
- Sweet Bell Peppers
The Clean 15 list is good to keep in mind at the store too. These fruits and veggies are the ones to save your money on (organic isn’t going to help you nearly as much):
- Avocados
- Sweet Corn
- Pineapples
- Cabbages
- Onions
- Sweet Peas
- Papayas
- Asparagus
- Mangoes
- Eggplants
- Honeydews
- Kiwis
- Cantaloupes
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
I’ll keep these in mind when I’m updating my favorite deals at the grocery stores each week! Enjoy!
