Peaches are the #1 most pesticide-laden fruit.

Announcing a new update to an old favorite: it's the 5th edition of Environmental Working Group's (EWG) classic Shopper's Guide to Pesticides, now with the latest government data. This handy guide shows you the fruits and veggies with the most (peaches and apples) and least pesticides (onions and avocados), so you know which to always buy organic and which are pretty clean even when conventionally grown.

GET THE GUIDE

Find out what changed about bananas, carrots, and spinach (among others), and get a printable version of the wallet-sized guide. 

SEE THE FULL LIST 

See the list of all 47 fruits and vegetables EWG analyzed to find out where your favorites rank. 

Spread the word to your friends (and even your enemies deserve to know)!
