If you're not sure which foods have the largest concentration of chemicals, toxins and pesticides or your budget only allows for just a portion of your dollars to go towards organic foods, this is the list for you. 

This is a list of fruits and vegetables gathered by the nonprofit, Environmental Working Group (EWG) that their research shows contain elevated levels of pesticides that may be concerning. 

Now known as the "Dirty Dozen" list to health experts and in-the-know shoppers, the list has long called conventional farming methods into question. 

THE DIRTY DOZEN

Only eat organic options of these foods since the conventionally-grown versions of these foods contain high levels of pesticides:

1. Strawberries

2. Spinach

3. Kale

4. Nectarines

5. Apples

6. Grapes

7. Peaches

8. Cherries

9. Pears

10. Tomatoes

11. Celery

12. Potatoes

The above highlighted foods need bees and pollinators to achieve greatness and thrive! As a brand committed to the protection of bees, beekeeping and the survival of pollinators, we especially encourage the purchase of foods grown without killer pesticides. Our organic honey waters will not abide chemical-laced ingredients in our bottles...and you should not allow it in your bodies, either!
