Pesticides in Produce Ranked

The Enviornmental Working Group has a list of the fruits and vegetabel with the most to least amounts of pesticides.  You can get a copy of the full list here.  The worst offenders are peaches, apples and sweet peppers.  The produce with the least amount of pesticide contamination include onions, avacado and frozen corn.  So if money is tight and you can’t afford to buy all organic fruits and vegetables, you may want to consider spending your organic budget on the the most pesticide laden produce.

I had made smoothies for my kids this last week with nonorganic peaches and after reading this list wished I had gotten only the organic freeezer fruits for them.
