"The "dirty dozen" are 12 fruits and veggies that, even when washed, tend to maintain high levels of pesticide residue unless they're grown organically. They are: apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, spinach, strawberries, imported grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes and raspberries."
Good thing that several of those are really easy to grow yourself. You might not be able to enjoy them all year round, but potatoes, spinach, peppers and strawberries can all be grown in tubs, so even if all you've got is a balcony or a window box, you'll be able to grow some and know exactly what you're eating.
