In the market, we all pick nice-looking vegatables, those that look so perfect that you think they would taste great. Well, they do...but chances are, they have been decked with pesticides in order for them to be looking so great, so perfect.
Vegetables are not the only ones covered in pesticides, why do you think fruits look so clean and flawless? They have also been sprayed with not one, but a number of pesticides.
According to a survey done by the Environment Working Group (EWG) in the US, peaches top the list of fruits and vegetables with the most pesticides. Find out what others from the ranking on the EWG site: http://www.foodnews.org/walletguide.php
So as not to be over exposed to pesticides, it would be advisable to consume a varied diet of vegetables and fruits. Whenever possible, choose organic.
