Heard about the dirty dozen? These are the 12 fruits and vegetables that are considered the "dirtiest" (meaning most pesticide-ridden) and that should (as recommended by experts, I'm just relaying the info here) be bought organic whenever possible. Even though I'd heard of the Dirty D, I never took the time to find out which fruits and vegetables they were. Except today I did and here's the list:
DIRTY:
- apples
- bell peppers
- celery
- cherries (good to know, this time of year I'm so tempted but I'll hold off for organic)
- grapes (imported)
- nectarines
- peaches
- pears
- potatoes (whoa, very good to know)
- raspberries
- spinach
- strawberries
CLEAN(er):
- asparagus
- avocado*
- banana*
- broccoli*
- cauliflower*
- corn*
- kiwi*
- mango*
- onion*
- papaya
- peas*
- pineapple
Here are a couple of website stories that get deeper into this information (and that I used as sources):

Do you find it odd that every single "clean" vegetable/fruit has to be peeled or cut open? Except for broccoli and it's evil albino brother.
