Are you concerned about exposure to pesticides in food?  I know I am.  The Environmental Working Group is an excellent resource for making good choices at the supermarket.   The put out a Shopper's Guide and list the "Dirty Dozen" and the "Clean 15."  The Dirty Dozen is a list of 12 fruits and vegetables that contain the highest amount of pesticides.  Whenever possible it is a good idea to buy the organically grown fruits and veggies on this list.

The top 5 on the Dirty Dozen list include:
1.  Apples
2.  Celery
3.  Sweet bell peppers
4.  Peaches
5.  Strawberries.

On the other hand, they have a list of the "Clean 15."  These fruits and veggies contain the lowest amount of pesticides.  If you are on a budget (like most of us) then you can buy these conventionally grown.

The top 5 on the Clean 15 list include:
1.  Onions
2.  Sweet corn
3.  Pineapples
4.  Avocados
5.  Cabbage

Also, you can download an app to your phone so that you can easily access the lists while shopping!
