"How aggravating is it to spend a bundle on fresh produce only to have your spinach taste more slimy than crispy in a matter of days and your carrots become limp in a matter of days? Even more annoying is the fact that you are paying an increasing amount for these necessities. Do you know what the ""dirty dozen"" are? Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) compiles a list of the foodstuffs with the greatest pesticide content. Our favorite strawberry is at the top of the list, followed closely by spinach and kale. Things worsen!
