NEW 2026 Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen
If you’re trying to reduce toxic load and support your hormones, this matters more than you think
- The Environmental Working Group releases this list yearly based on pesticide residues found on produce. Over 75% of conventional produce can carry pesticide traces (EWG)
DIRTY DOZEN (buy organic when possible):
• Strawberries
• Spinach
• Kale, collard & mustard greens
• Grapes
• Peaches
• Pears
• Nectarines
• Apples
• Cherries
• Blackberries
• Blueberries
• Potatoes
These tend to have thin skins + higher pesticide absorption
CLEAN FIFTEEN (okay to buy conventional):
• Pineapple
• Sweet corn
• Avocado
• Papaya
• Onions
• Sweet peas (frozen)
• Asparagus
• Cabbage
• Watermelon
• Cauliflower
• Bananas
• Mangoes
• Carrots
• Mushrooms
• Kiwi
💡 How to use this:
You don’t need to buy everything organic. Just prioritize the Dirty Dozen and save money on the Clean Fifteen
This is about lowering your total toxin burden, not perfection.
