The annual Dirty Dozen list reveals the nonorganic produce that has the highest pesticide levels. Blueberries and green beans have now made their way onto this notorious list. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to environmental health, studied data from over 46,000 samples of 46 different fruits and vegetables. They discovered which ones contain the most pesticides. Choosing organic options can help reduce your exposure to these harmful chemicals. By buying organic, you can enjoy fruits and veggies just as much as opening up a gift without the risk of unwanted chemicals!
