The Dirty Dozen are:
- Apples
- Blueberries
- Celery
- Grapes (imported)
- Kale/Collard Greens
- Lettuce
- Nectarines (imported)
- Peaches
- Potatoes
- Red, orange and yellow bell peppers
- Spinach
- Strawberries
Other fruits and veggies were close to be on the dirty dozen list again this year. Also buying these organic would be smart. All berries, bananas, cucumbers, green beans, all leafy greens and carrots have all been on the list in recent years. In the middle of dirty and clean is a small group of veggies. Broccoli, Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts only use a small amount of pesticides but to be safe it is recommend to buy organic or local for a truly pesticide meal or snack!
