Every year the Environmental Working Groupreleases a list of produce with the most (Dirty Dozen) and least (Clean Fifteen) pesticides. It can help you prioritize what fruits and vegetables to buy organic, as nearly 70% of the produce sold in the U.S. comes with pesticide residues, according to EWG. Strawberries topped the list, so be sure to prioritize buying organic. 

Or better yet -- shop at your local farmer's market and talk to the farmers directly about how they grow their fruits and vegetables. 

(This list is sorted alphabetically for quick reference, not in order of greatest pesticide residue.)
