Just read some more research about non-organic veggies and fruits.  I have often times heard people say that eating Organic is so hard, expensive, etc.


There are 15 fruits and veggies that you can eat that are “clean,” EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT EATING THEM ORGANICALLY!!! (#1 is “cleanest”/least amount of detectable pesticides, per research)

The Clean 15

 1. Onions
 2. Corn
 3. Pineapples
 4. Avocado
 5. Asparagus

 7. Mangoes
 8. Eggplant

 10. Kiwi
 11. Cabbage
 12. Watermelon
