The Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen

The Environmental Work Group (EWG) publishes a list of the fruit and vegetables that test highest in pesticides called The Dirty Dozen, as well as a list of those with the lowest tested levels, called The Clean Fifteen.  They update their list annually, since it changes somewhat from year to year.  It can be helpful for people transitioning from conventional to organic produce, or for those who would like to eat organic but have a very limited food budget.
