The Environmental Working Group (EWG) published their shopper’s guide to cleaner eating. The Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen Lists are really helpful to have the next time you hit the grocery store. They can assist when navigating the produce section and deciding which food to buy organic.
The foods on the Dirty Dozen list are in order of foods with the most to least pesticide-contaminated conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. These foods are recommended to be purchased as organic.
If you are on a budget and can’t fill your cart with all organic products, the Clean Fifteen list has the least amount of pesticides used, and are okay to purchase non-organic.
