12 foods with greater pesticide residue

Thanks to Sayward of Bonzai Aphrodite for bringing this article to my attention.  It’s a list of fruits and vegetables that absorb more pesticide than others and the article suggests that the organic versions of these are better candidates than their non-organic counterparts for your grocery cart.

Unfortunately for me, there are many on that list I happen to love, especially strawberries, bell peppers, potatoes, and spinach.   But if I simply must eat organic strawberries, I suppose I will do what is necessary.   ;)
