Every year the EWG releases the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen list. This is a list of the 15 least chemical sprayed crops which you can feel safe buying non organic. And a list of the most highly sprayed and chemical laden crops that you should buy organic. It’s worth the extra money to avoid those toxins in your body.
The list tends to stay pretty similar year to year but sometimes a new fruit or veggies pops up. One of my favorite facts on that list is avocados do NOT need to be purchased organic! The saddest part for me is knowing that berries really do need to be bought organic.
here is a link to the full list
