I swear I am the last person on earth to find out about absolutely everything! No matter what the topic is, I am always given weird looks (and secretly judged I'm sure lol) when I haven't heard of something widely known. So here goes...you have all probably heard of this but I have just found out and thought it was necessary to share.
Apparently there are 2 lists of foods out there...1 of which is a list of foods with the highest amount of pesticides used and the other not so much, or maybe not at all...I don't know, but I know it is the "clean" list. So just in case I am in fact not the last person on the earth to find out about this, I will educate you on what these lists include...here goes...
The Dirty Dozen:
1. Apples
2. Celery
3. Cherry tomatoes
4. Cucumbers
5. Grapes
6. Blueberries
7. Nectarines - imported
8. Peaches
9. Potatoes
10. Spinach
11. Strawberries
12. Sweet bell peppers/hot peppers
13. Kale/collard greens
14. Summer squash
Not quite sure why they call it dozen when there's 14 things on the list...there's probably a reason that I didn't do enough research to find out why...meh
The Clean Fifteen:
1. Asparagus
2. Avocado
3. Cabbage
4. Cantalope
