I’ll keep this post short and sweet…
I am mainly doing this as a reminder to myself but I am sure you can benefit too… 😉
The dirtiest fruits & veggies, known for having high pesticides, (a.k.a. The Dirty Dozen) are…
- celery
- peaches
- strawberries
- apples
- blueberries
- nectarines
- bell peppers
- spinach
- cherries
- collard greens
- potatoes
- imported grapes
Pay the extra to buy the above in the organic section…
The cleanest fruits & veggies (a.k.a. The Clean Fifteen) are…
- Onions
- Avocados
- Sweet Corn
- Pineapple
- Mangoes
- Sweet Peas
- Asparagus
- Kiwis
- Cabbage
- Eggplant
- Cantaloupe
- Watermelon
- Grapefruit
- Sweet Potatoes
- Honeydew Melons
You can save your money on the above by buying them in the normal produce section…
As far as other fruits & veggies go you can buy them at your own discretion. They fit somewhere in the middle.
Hope you enjoy this!

15 Organic Fruits & Vegetables Worth Paying More For
Thanks Len!
something healthy like these are always worth every penny..
I never really stopped to consider that some organic fruits and vegetables may be more worthwhile than others. I just always see the price difference and go straight back to the pesticide loaded crap. I really should be smarter though.
