Yesterday's Daily Tip covered the newest Dirty Dozen list from the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) Shoppers Guide to Pesticides - fruits and vegetables that are the most likely to contain pesticide residue and that should be avoided unless purchased as organically grown.

Today's Daily Tip covers the EWG's "Clean 15" - produce that, when grown conventionally, poses the least risk of exposure to pesticides. While I always recommend eating organic fruits and vegetables, they may be too expensive for those on tight budgets or simply not available. However, according to the EWG, eating five servings a day from this "Clean 15" list reduces your exposure to pesticides by almost 90 percent compared to five servings daily from the "Dirty Dozen."

I encourage everyone to enjoy these fruits and vegetables in organic or conventionally grown form:

1. Onions
2. Avocados
3. Sweet Corn
4. Pineapples
5. Mangos
6. Sweet Peas
7. Asparagus
8. Kiwi
9. Cabbage
10. Eggplant
11. Cantaloupe (Domestic)
12. Watermelon
13. Grapefruit
14. Sweet Potatoes
15. Honeydew Melon
