Peaches are rated the worst because the pesticides are absorbed through the skin. Peaches are thus given a rating of 100% and the rest of the fruits and vegetables are given ratings in terms of percentage based on peaches as 100%. Apples is the second worst because apples were initially they are not grown in their natural environmental, have not developed natural resistance and thus treated with multiple pesticides. The best are onions and avocado rated at having only 1% of pesticides as compared with peaches.
