The Environmental Working Group has published it's 5th edition of the Shopper's Guide to Pesticides. Download your copy at http://www.foodnews.org/ or see the full list at http://www.foodnews.org/fulllist.php.

Bottom line - always buy organic peaches & nectarines, apples, peppers, celery and strawberries. OK to buy non-organic avocados, onions, and frozen sweet corn.

Comments: One great way to do this and save money is to look into local crop sharing programs. I have found this to be an inexpensive way to get great organic produce with a highly reduced carbon footprint to boot!
