The Clean Fifteen
Ideally, we think it would be great for you to eat a 100% organic diet, but sometimes we have to make choices due to availability or budget. There certain vegetables more affected by treatment by herbicides and pesticides (see the Dirty Dozen), and then a few that have thicker skin, as it were, and they seem to be safer choices if you are going to eat conventional produce:
- Asparagus
- Avocados
- Bananas
- Blueberries
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Garlic
- Kiwi
- Mango
- Onions
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Shelling peas
- Sweet corn
- Watermelon
So, if you're watching your pennies and buying only partially organic, or wondering what to eat at the next potluck, we hope this list will give you a little guidance!
