Dirty Dozen vs. Clean Fifteen

There are many articles out there about the benefits of eating organically. I have been reading them wanting to go more organic for my family. I try to go less processed anyways so organic is just another baby step, I hope.

Well there is lots and lots of advice about organics, one thing I saw many times is the most important things to get organic vs the least important things.
These lists have been titled the dirty dozen (the items you want organic) and the clean fifteen (items that do not soak up the pesticides when grown non organically)

The Dirty Dozen (after more research the list expanded, but is still referred to as dozen)
Meat
Milk
Coffee
Peaches
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Kale
Leafy Greens
Grapes
Carrots
Pears

The Clean Fifteen (many of these items made the list because you do not actually eat the outside layer where most of the pesticides are found)
Onion
Avocado
Sweet Corn
Pineapple
Mango
Asparagus
Sweet Peas
Kiwi
Cabbage
Eggplant
Paypaya
Watermelon
Broccoli
Tomato
Sweet Potato
