I recently participated in a conference in Miami, FL which focused on using food as medicine. At this conference we were given some useful lists that I’ve included below. The “dirty dozen” ranks produce with the highest amounts of pesticides and the “clean 15”  lists produce on the other end of the spectrum. This information can be a guide for you in knowing what to purchase as organic in the grocery market.

  5. Nectarine
