Some vegetables and fruits have high pesticide residues, so how should you wash them to get them clean?

Everyone knows that fruits and vegetables are excellent health-promoting foods and healthy natural nutrients, so everyone likes to eat fruits and vegetables, but when we buy vegetables and fruits we need to wash them clean, and for the sake of health we need to wash them thoroughly. Below I will describe some simple washing methods.

First, when we wash vegetables and fruits, we can wash them in clean water with some salt added, which can effectively wash off some parasites on the vegetables and fruits, so they are much cleaner to eat, but salt water cannot wash away pesticide residues.

Second, when we eat vegetables, we can briefly blanch them in boiling water. Also, when we eat fruit, before you eat it, you also need to scald it once with boiling water. This can effectively remove a lot of pesticide residue substances and can also effectively kill bacteria.

Third, everyone should note that the residual toxic substances in vegetables and fruits will slowly break down into non-toxic substances over time, so we should not eat vegetables as soon as we buy them home. It is best to leave them for a few days, so that some of the toxins in the vegetables and fruits will decrease and disappear.

Fourth, the peel of fruits and some vegetables is very nutritious, but because too many pesticides are used now, eating the peel has a great impact on health, so we suggest that everyone try to remove the peel of fruits and vegetables before eating, as this is somewhat healthier.

Fifth, when everyone usually washes vegetables and some fruits, pay attention to adding an appropriate amount of edible vinegar to the water basin, because vinegar can effectively remove pesticide residue on vegetables and fruits, and at the same time vinegar can sterilize. We suggest that everyone can usually use vinegar to wash fruits and vegetables.

Sixth, when we eat rice, a lot of rice-washing water is left over. Do not waste this, because rice-washing water contains a variety of nutrients and has good decontamination ability. The rice-washing water left after washing rice is weakly alkaline, which is very good for washing off pesticide residues. Everyone can treat vegetables and fruits this way.
