The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has issued their updated 2011 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce. This handy printable reference lists the "Dirty Dozen" (the 12 produce items highest in pesticides and best to buy organic) and the "Clean 15" (the produce that is lower in pesticides and, therefore, OK to buy conventional).
This list can help in making decisions on produce when you are faced with either a limited selection or organic produce that is outrageously priced. And it fits right in your wallet!
