Fifty and Ferocious Dirty Dozen Plus These foods are listed from highest level of pesticides to lowest. Keep in mind that despite sweet bell peppers being #12, thats still high compared with the produce on the Clean 15 which Ill post on Wednesday. 1. Apples. 7. Nectarines 2. Celery. 8. Peaches 3. Cherry tomatoes. 9. Potatoes 4. Cucumbers. 10. Spinach 5. Grapes. 11. Strawberries 6. Hot peppers. 12. Sweet bell peppers PLUS: kale, collard greens and summer squash (zucchini) While washing will remove some pesticides, there is residue left on the fruit/vegetable. Plus the peel contains most of the nutrients, so peeling an apple for example, is a waste of money and valuable nutrition. You can substantially lower your pesticide exposure by purchasing organic versions of the Dirty Dozen foods.
