Asparagus
Avocados
Banana
Broccoli
Cabbage
Kiwi
Mangoes
Onions
Papaya
Pineapples
Sweet Corn
Sweet Peas

Dirtiest- if you can splurge, always buy organic when purchasing these:
Apples
Celery
Cherries
Grapes
Lettuce
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Potatoes
Spinach
Strawberries
Sweet Bell Peppers

I also find that besides being more expensive, its just not quite as good. The produce seems to be lacking flavor, and it all just isn't as fresh because the turnover isn't as great.
