When to Buy Organic

Every year @environmentalworkinggroup releases their Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists to help us navigate the organic world! It helps us determine where we can focus if we are wanting to reduce pesticide exposures.

The dirty dozen list are produce items that were found to have the highest levels of pesticide residues. These items are recommended to buy organic when possible. The clean fifteen items on the other hand were found to have the least amount of pesticide residues when tested. This means you can save yourself money and purchase these as non-organic!
