DR. MERCOLA’S BLOG: FOODS WITH THE LOWEST PESTICIDE LEVELS
In contrast, the following foods were found to have the lowest residual pesticide load, making them the safest bet among conventionally grown vegetables. Note that a small amount of sweet corn and most Hawaiian papaya, although low in pesticides, are genetically engineered (GE). If you’re unsure of whether the sweet corn or papaya is GE, I’d recommend opting for organic varieties:
| Asparagus | Avocado | Cabbage |
| Cantaloupe | Sweet corn (non-GMO) | Eggplant |
| Grapefruit | Kiwi | Mango |
| Mushrooms | Onions | Papayas (non-GMO. Most Hawaiian papaya is GMO) |
| Pineapple | Sweet peas (frozen) | Sweet potatoes |
