6 clean legumess ranked by lowest ppb

Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and split peas are often treated with glyphosate as a pre-harvest desiccant. Mamavation's 2026 tests found residue across multiple legume brands, including store-brand canned and dried varieties. Organic certification effectively eliminates this exposure. The picks below are the cleanest legumes we found, ranked by glyphosate level (lowest first). Each has been lab-tested by an independent third party.
