The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has put together a list of fruits and veggies, listed from most contaminated with pesticide residue to the least contaminated.

Here are the top 10 MOST contaminated fruits and veggies:

1. Peaches
2. Apples
3. Sweet Bell Peppers
4. Celery
   
5. Nectarines
6. Strawberries
7. Cherries
