How To Avoid Pesticides Without Going Organic

As you know, I’m a huge fan of going organic. I can’t recommend it enough!!

However, the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15 lists are your best friend if you can’t buy organic all of the time. Here’s the updated 2020 Dirty Dozen:

1. Strawberries
2. Spinach
3. Kale
4. Nectarines
5. Apples
6. Grapes
7. Peaches
8. Cherries
9. Pears
10. Tomatoes
11. Celery
12. Potatoes
13. (Hot peppers!)

The best way to use this list is to memorize it! It’ll only take you a few minutes, and it’ll prevent you from having to consult a list every time you shop. However, if you don’t have an amazing memory (so few do!), write it down and take it with your regular grocery list.
