I'd expect bananas to have lower than average amounts of pesticides though.

The edible part is enclosed in a thick skin that is discarded. And all the small-time banana growers I know, who use pesticides on other crops, just let their bananas grow naturally.

Or alternatively wrap their banana stalks with canvas material or grown in an enclosed area covered in tarp.
