Organic produce is preferable because it ensures certain farming practices that improve nutrtition and minimize toxins. Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases an updated Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce to show which foods have the highest and lowest concentrations of pesticides. The EWG creates this list by analyzing pesticide test data from the USDA and FDA.
These 12 fruits and vegetables contain the highest concentration of pesticides in 2020! Make sure you are buying organic if you are buying anything from this list of produce.
