Strawberries contain the most pesticides of any fruit or vegetable, new research reveals.
The summer-favorite fruit contains at least 20 synthetic chemicals, a report found.
Other chemically-ridden produce includes spinach, nectarines and apples, the research adds.
Yet, only one percent of non-organic avocados and sweetcorn are contaminated with pesticide residues, the study found.
Other ‘clean’ produce are pineapples, cabbages, onions, frozen peas, papayas, asparagus, mangoes, eggplants, honeydew melons, kiwis, cantaloupes, cauliflowers and grapefruits, the report adds.
