Are We Aware of the Pesticides in our Foods?.

Highest concentration of pesticides are found in peanuts and raisins. Choose organically grown peanut butter.
Fruits: The thicker the peel, the less concentration of pesticides. However, fruits such as cantaloupes have a very porous skin, which can absorb pesticides.
Good choices: Bananas, oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits, pineapples, watermelon and figs.
If you eat a lot of the following fruits, organically grown varieties may be a better choice:
Apples, pears, grapes, strawberries, peaches, kiwi, prunes, cherries, blackberries and blueberries.
Vegetables: When using not organically grown vegetables, wash them well with water and soap.
Vegetables with the highest levels of pesticides: lettuce, spinach and potatoes.
Remove the outer two or three layers of lettuce and spinach. When eating not organically grown potatoes, don't eat the skin.
