More an more people demanding food free of chemical residues. The EWG provided a list of 15 fruits and vegetables which a less contaminated with pesticides, when buying organic is not an option. There are differences in number and amount of pesticides usage regarding various types.
Please found the 15 most less contaminated ones below:
- Sweet corn (But I would like to add the information, that non organic corn often is bioengineered / GMO)
- Avocados
- Pineapples
- Cabbage
- Onions
- Sweet Peas
- Papayas
- Asparagus
- Mangoes
- Eggplant
- Honeydew
- Kiwi
- Cantaloupe
- Cauliflower
- Grapefruit
Nevertheless buying organic food is always better for environment and the soils than buying non organic.
Take care
