Smart strategies for buying organic

Which conventional fruits and vegetables tend to be safer?

Sure, it would be great to eat only organic vegetables and fruit. But they tend to cost more than conventional produce, which makes that goal tough for most of us. What's a budget-conscious shopper to do? Some produce tends to contain more pesticides than others -- buy organic versions of those. Use this list, developed by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit research organization, based in Washington, D.C., to make your choices:

Peaches                          Lettuce
Apples                             Potatoes
Bell peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Pears
Imported grapes
Spinach
