With grocery prices rising, it’s helpful to remember that you have options for reducing your toxic load without overspending.
I keep this list handy every time I shop 🛒
The 2026 Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen is a simple guide to help you prioritize where organic choices may matter most.
🍓 Dirty Dozen = highest pesticide residues
🥑 Clean Fifteen = lowest (many with little to no detectable residues)
🍅 Everything else falls in between
Here’s how I like to approach it:
✨ Do what you can, not everything at once
✨ If it’s on the Dirty Dozen and you eat it often, consider buying organic
✨ If it’s on the Clean Fifteen, feel confident buying conventional
✨ Frozen fruits and veggies are a great, budget-friendly option
And most importantly—don’t let this stress you out.
Eating whole, real foods (organic or not) will always support your health far more than avoiding fruits and vegetables altogether.
Small, consistent choices really do add up 🤍
