Cleanest Fruits & Vegetables (least toxic residue)

Most of you know about the "Dirty Dozen", the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables that you should always buy organic. But, since we are going into winter, which means our local farmers are about done (Thanks Michael of Revolution Gardens for a great CSA season!), it's also good to know the "Clean Buys". These are the least contaminated, and safe alternatives to organic. This is where you can save a couple cents, and spend it on the crucial organics.

Clean 14

1. Onions: great for digestive system.

2. Sweet Corn: Look for healthy, tough feeling ears,w ithout murky tops

3. Pineapples: Every now and then, worth the tropical treat. Smell the belly button. If it's sweet, it's ripe.

4. Avocado; Thank goodness!

5. Asparagus: Surprising that it's on this list. Snap to remove tough part, then steam gently.

6. Sweet Peas: Freezer staple at my house. Pea hummus, steamed peas drenched in parmessan cheese, defrots and throw in salads.

7. Mangoes: Relative of Posion Oak. Sweet relative.

8. Eggplant: Slice, let sit in salted water 20 minutes to remove bitterness, then broil for 10 minutes each side. Then put some cheese on it, melt, Movie Snack!

9: KiwiFruit: High in Vitamin C. Looks like a tropical fruit salad is calling our name!

10: Cabbage! Another staple at my house. We eat a daily red cabbage salad. Slice thin, add feta and balsamic. Mix. Extremely good for you.

11: Watermelon: Love a good one. Won't buy a seedless one. I think seedless fruit is lame.

12: Sweet Potatoes: Perfect Fall Dinner.

13: Grapefruit: Not my favorite, but I know it's good for you

14: Mushrooms: Look for specialty mushrooms to get nutrients. Otherwise, enjoy for texture and taste.

Dirty Dozen (just in case): Apples, Celery, Strawberries, Peaches, Spinach, Nectarines, Grapes, Sweet Bell Peppers, Potatoes, Blueberries, Lettuce, Kale/Collards .

These are no good. Not worth the nutrients if you're also gettinga  bunch of crap.
