I would really love to be able to buy organic food, especially produce, but the price holds me back most of the time. When the price isn't too drastically different I try to buy the "dirty dozen" organically. The top 12 produce products that have the highest pesticide levels are:
Peaches
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Pears
Imported grapes
Spinach
Lettuce
Potatoes
Conventionally Grown Produce that ranked lowest for Pesticides:
Onions
Avocados
Frozen Sweet Corn
Pineapples
Mangoes
Asparagus
Frozen Sweet Peas
Kiwifruit
Bananas
Cabbage
Broccoli
Papayas
