Fruits & Veggies: which have the most/least pesticide levels

Environmental Working Group (EWG) has come out with its Shoppers Guide to Pesticides. Here is a sampling of the best and the worst veggies & fruits to buy based on the pesticide levels in them. LOWEST IN PESTICIDES: Avocado Pineapple Mangos Kiwi Watermelon Grapefruit Honeydew Melon Onions Sweet Corn (ah, but what about GM) Sweet Peas Asparagus Cabbage Sweet Potato Eggplant HIGHEST IN PESTICIDES: Peaches Strawberries Apples Blueberries Nectarines Cherries Grapes (Imported?) Spinach Celery Bell Peppers The Guide says: The data used to create these lists is based on produce tested as it is typically eaten (meaning washed, rinsed or peeled, depending on the type of produce). Rinsing reduces but does not eliminate pesticides. Peeling helps, but valuable nutrients often go down the drain with the skin. The best approach: eat a varied diet, rinse all produce and buy organic when possible.
