The Environmental Working group has published its 2011 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce. It's a breakdown of 53 produce items with their respective pesticide loads.
I love this guide, and keep a list of the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen taped to our refrigerator. While it would be ideal to be able to buy organic produce across the board, it isn't always affordable or feasible for everyone. Having this definitive guide helps me make better choices at the grocer; knowing when it's better to invest in organic produce and when it's fine to settle for conventional.
Thank you, EWG. : )
