Pesticide residues are commonly found on conventionally-grown produce even after it’s been washed and peeled. For this reason, people are turning to organic produce to avoid any harmful effects of leftover pesticides.
Every year, a non-profit called the Environmental Working Group publishes the top twelve produce items with the highest amounts of pesticides found after testing. Here’s their Dirty Dozen list for 2018: 1) Strawberries 2) Spinach 3) Nectarines 4) Apples 5) Grapes 6) Peaches 7) Cherries 8) Pears 9) Tomatoes 10) Celery 11) Potatoes 12) Sweet Bell Peppers SOURCES: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php
