Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzes data from the USDA to determine which fruits and vegetables in the U.S. have the most pesticides and which have the least.
The lists, dubbed the Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen, are not released to make shoppers avoid these fruits and veggies but instead to help them make informed decisions when it comes to purchasing.
