Top Organic Candidates

For most of us, it's not practical to buy everything organic. That's why this list, that I gleaned from Renee Loux' book Easy Green Living, is very helpful. She lists what foods tend to be most loaded with pesticides and chemicals, so you can make informed decisions:

  1. Meat and Poultry
  2. Butter, Milk and Cheese
  3. Strawberries, Raspberries and Cherries
  4. Apples and Pears
  5. Tomatoes
  6. Potatoes
  7. Spinach and other Greens, including Lettuce
  8. Coffee
  9. Peaches and Nectarines
  10. Grapes
  11. Celery
  12. Peppers
