Dirty Dozen

While we would love to buy all of my produce organic, it doesn't always happen that way (mostly due to convenience). There are certain foods that we'll go out of my way to get organic, these are their stories.



This list goes in order from the highest pesticide use to the lowest (keep in mind that when I say lowest, it really is high!). 

- peaches
- apples
- yellow, red and green peppers
- celery
- nectarines
- strawberries
- cherries
- kale (ahhhhhh!)
- lettuce
- grapes
- carrots
- pears

Print this and take it shopping with you. Your first challenge into healthy eating is to back off these bad boys (unless they're organic, of course).
