Pesticide contaminated vegetables (most & least)
As promised here's the list of most and least contaminated fruits and vegetables. This information comes from the Environmental Working Group. They also have a website specifically dedicated to this, foodnews.org where they have a wallet sized card you can print out and keep handy for when you're at the grocery store. Obviously this list is incomplete, they didn't test every possible vegetable, but there are a few more listed on the web site.
12 Most Contaminated
