2013 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15
About this time every year the Environmental Working Group releases
their latest list of foods highest and lowest in pesticide residue. This
week I want to share with you their updated lists for 2013. They have
again expanded the Dirty Dozen with a Plus category to highlight two
crops — kale and collard greens. 
According to the EWG, these
vegetables “did not meet traditional Dirty Dozen criteria but were
commonly contaminated with highly toxic organophosphate insecticides.
These insecticides are toxic to the nervous system and have been largely
removed from agriculture over the past decade. But they are not banned
and still show up on some food crops.”
Here are EWG’s updated lists for 2013:
Dirty Dozen:
  1. Apples
  2. Celery
  3. Cherry Tomatoes
  4. Cucmbers
  5. Hot Peppers
  6. Nectarines
  7. Peaches
  8. Potatoes
  9. Spinach
  10. Strawberries
  11. Bell Peppers
    Plus:
  12. Kale/Collard Green
  13. Summer Squash

Clean 15:

  1. Asparagus
  2. Avocados
  3. Cabbage
  4. Cantaloupe
  5. Corn
  6. Eggplant
  7. Grapefruit
  8. Kiwi
  9. Mangoes
  10. Mushrooms
  11. Onions
  12. Papayas
  13. Pineapples
  14. Sweet Peas – frozen
  15. Sweet Potatoes
