The "Dirty Dozen"

I found this in a book called Healing Gourmet and thought this was interesting...

The most pesticide ridden crops are called the "dirty dozen". According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) if you buy only these twelve foods organic, you can reduce your pesticide intake by 90%.

*Nectarines *Cherries
*Peaches *Lettuce
*Apples *Grapes
*Celery *Pears
*Sweet bell peppers *Spinach
*Strawberries *Potatoes
