The Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides

The www.EWG.org created The Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides, a printable list and guide that ranks pesticide contamination levels in 47 popular fruits and vegetables. The list contains produce that the EWG recommends you buy organic, as well as those that contain the lowest amount of pesticides and can be purchased in a non-organic state.

"We created the list so you can prioritize what you're going to spend your organic dollars on," Rosenthal says. "This way you can buy organic apples but save money by buying conventionally grown peas because you know they contain fewer pesticides."
