Top 10 Safest Non-Organic Produce

Save some money - these 10 fruits and veggies have the lowest levels of pesticides and don't absorb pesticides like other produce. Save your grocery money for produce you should buy organically, such as apples, lettuce and celery.

1. Asparagus
2. Avocados (pesticide can't be absorbed through thick skin)
3. Bananas (pesticide remains on the peel)
4. Broccoli (crop faces fewer threats, farmers use less chemicals)
5. Cabbage
6. Kiwi fruit (thick peel, again)
7. Mango
8. Onions (few threats)
9. Papaya
10. Pineapple

You can see, most produce with thick skin doesn't absorb the pesticides. However, it's important to wash your produce well so you don't spread the chemicals onto your hands or onto the produce when cutting it.
