Continuing with my FYI Sunday….
My previous post I warned my readers about the ‘dirtiest’ fruits and veggies….today I want to show that not all our produce is ‘dirty’.
This is the list of the ‘cleanest’ produce in our local markets.
And, as a bit of a palate-cleanser, the group lists its “Clean 15” fruits and vegetables. In order of least to most contaminated:
- Avocados
- Sweet corn
- Pineapple
- Onions
- Papaya
- Frozen sweet peas
- Asparagus
- Honeydew melon
- Kiwi
- Cabbage
- Mushrooms
- Mangoes
- Sweet potatoes
- Watermelon
- Carrots
These may be considered ‘safe’ but I still suggest that you wash them thoroughly before preparing and consuming.
I hope that these two post were helpful in some small way….I do try to keep my readers abreast of health issues.

The melons should be okay as they have thick skins, and to my knowledge, nobody eats the skins. (I certainly don’t) 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
In the South they make pickles out of the skin. I noticed that all the ‘clean’ have skins. chuq
