From our Friends at the Environmental Working Group (EWG)
Around our house we love apples, but did you know that apples are the most pesticide contaminated produce item? When shopping how can you know which fruits and vegetables are clean enough to buy conventional and when to spend extra for organic?
Fortunately the EWG has put together a guide to help us with that decision: 2015 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™.

For 2015 peaches and nectarines have replaced strawberries and grapes for the number two and three spots on the list of the most pesticide-contaminated produce. And apples topped the list for the fifth year in a row!
Make sure you take a look before your next trip to the grocery store.
