Every year, EWG puts out a new pesticides in produce guide to help shoppers make informed choices about produce. I try my best to buy only organic produce, but it is wonderful to have a list of the Dirty Dozen, and the Clean Fifteen so I know what has less pesticides if I can’t get organic. Check out the full list of produce they tested for pesticides,
or read the full report.
Wondering what the real difference is between organic produce and regular produce? Read the details here.

I’m surprised about corn, I thought they used lots of pesticides on that.
Thanks for your comment! I think corn is more controversial because of the GMOs rather than the pesticides.
