We all know that eating more veggies and fruits is so important for our good health. Finding clean versions of them can be a challenge depending on budget and availability.
The Dirty Dozen list contains the 12 commercially grown fruits and veggies with the highest amount of pesticide and other chemical residues on them. Try to find locally grown, organic sources if you can. If that’s not possible, at least choosing organic versions of the Dirty Dozen list is a great way to start.

Dirty Dozen:
Strawberries
Spinach
Nectarines
Apples
Peaches
Pears
Cherries
Grapes

As with anything, some exposure to chemicals is just inevitable. Do the best you can to keep exposure at bay.
