The Dirty Dozen Fruit: What You Need to Know

The Dirty Dozen Fruit

The 12 Fruits Most Exposed to Pesticides:

Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases a list called the Dirty Dozen, the top twelve fruits and vegetables most likely to carry pesticide residue when grown conventionally.

At Body Bella, we’re here to help you make confident, aligned choices. That can include knowing when going organic matters most.

If buying everything organic feels overwhelming, this list helps you prioritize. When possible, choose organic versions of the following fruits to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals:

The Dirty Dozen (Fruits Only)

  1. Strawberries
  2. Grapes
  3. Apples
  4. Cherries
  5. Blueberries
  6. Peaches
  7. Pears
  8. Nectarines
  9. Plums
  10. Raspberries
  11. Watermelon
  12. Citrus fruits (especially oranges and tangerines)

These fruits are delicious, nutrient-rich, and often eaten with the skin on, making them more vulnerable to chemical absorption. Choosing organic here supports your body’s detox systems and keeps your healing process clear.

Inside Body Bella, we don’t chase perfection. We focus on wisdom. Use this list as a guide, not a rule.

Keep going,
