Apples to Oranges




Here's something I never have around when I need it - a list of which foods are higher in pesticides and other undesirables, i.e. which to buy organic. The top 10 worst (from Environmental Working Group here in DC) - a higher score means more pesticides:


1. Peaches (100)

2. Apples (96)

3. Sweet Bell Peppers (86)

4. Celery (85)

5. Nectarines (84)

6. Strawberries (83)

7. Cherries (75)

8. Lettuce (69)

9. Grapes - imported (68)

10. Pears (65)


The full listing is on EWG's FoodNews.
