Pesticide Residue

Pesticide Residue in our Top 43 Fruits and Vegetables

I recently found this list of our top 43 fruits and vegetables rated depending on the amount of pesticide residue they contained. Conventional fruits and vegetables were scientifically tested for this study. Now I use this list when I go shopping. I’m quite happy to buy conventional onions but I’ll only purchase organic apples.
