The Environmental Working Group has set up guidelines for shopping for produce to minimize pesticide content in our foods. Here is the link: http://www.foodnews.org/EWG-shoppers-guide-download-final.pdf
They have an entire list rated worst to best and reccommendations on what to always purchase organic. Shopping in season will give you the best flavor and prices on these items.
"How to Pick a Peach" by Russ Parsons (Green Valley Book Fair for $5) gives tips on shopping in season for the best flavors of foods and has recipes and information on what to look for and the best places to find things. It also includes how to select, store, and prepare fruits and vegetables in season.
