Last month we ran a list (If You DO Eat Non-Organic Foods - The Most Pesticide-Contaminated Foods) of the most contaminated fruits and veggies. Now we have the good news; here's a list of the least contaminated produce for those times that you can't find Organic.

Veggies, listed in order of purity:

Sweet corn
Avocado
Cauliflower
Asparagus
Onions
Peas
Broccoli

The least contaminated fruits are:

Pineapple
Mango
Banana
Kiwi
Papaya

Very few mangoes and pineapple have pesticide residues on them, and when they do they usually contain only one type. Bananas often contain pesticide residues, but rarely multiple ones.

The best way to avoid contamination is to consume Organic foods. But when that isn't possible, then select foods that have the least pesticides on them.

You can buy a non-toxic cleaners for washing produce from most health food stores and some supermarkets. Use this to wash your non-Organic fruits and veggies.
