Every year the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases two lists on pesticide levels in produce: the Dirty Dozen & the Clean Fifteen 🍓🥑🥦
🧪 The Dirty Dozen, listed in order from most to least contaminated, includes fruits and vegetables with the highest levels of pesticide residues.
👉 These are best bought organic, especially for babies and young children.
🌿 The Clean Fifteen, ranked from the cleanest, includes produce with the lowest levels of pesticide contamination, making them fine to buy conventionally grown (non-organic).
These lists help you prioritize when to buy organic 🤍.
