Dirty Dozen, Clean Fifteen from the Environmental Working Group

NOTE: I just received my Dirty Dozen/Clean 15 laminated card to take when I shop (Size of a credit card.) So I am posting the actual copy of the EWG website with photos of most of the foods. I did post the list earlier last week.
Since this is Organic Harvest Month, I thought you might like the latest list of the Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen from EWG:

EWG’s 2014 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™







Two-thirds of produce samples in recent government tests had pesticide residues. Don’t want to eat bug- and weed-killers? EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce helps you shop smart. We highlight the cleanest and dirtiest conventionally-raised fruits and vegetables. If a conventionally grown food you want tests high for pesticides, go for the organic version instead. And remember – the health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh risks of pesticide exposure. Dirty Dozen™ Plus highlights hot peppers and leafy greens – kale and collard greens – often tainted with unusually hazardous pesticides.
