The Gross Reason You Should Soak Your Strawberries In Salt Water

- Strawberries are some of the most irresistible berries out there, and many of us just can’t wait to eat them when we see them. You can dip them in chocolate, soak them in honey, or make them into a strawberry daiquiri or a strawberry banana smoothie.
They are quite pleasing to the eye, but a recent TikTok video by Buzzfeed reporter Krista Torres revealed that there is more to strawberries than meets the eye.
In the video, Torres soaked strawberries in a bowl filled with water and salt for 30 minutes. They may look like delectable, juicy fruits, but here is the gross reason why you should soak your strawberries in saltwater.

Have you ever found any bugs in your food in a restaurant? If so, which one?
I found a rats foot it was so nasty
@@kingepanda3225 They told him, "break a leg."
more protein lol . 1:28-- When you mention that people have been consuming warms for years in fruits that is NOT me.I don't eat fruit so neener neener neener neener!!!!!!
Tom Brady probably knew this. He said he never eats strawberries, and had a disgusting face when he said it.
I literally found maggots in Asian food from a store on bloor and islington in Toronto Canada 15 years ago....
I could've gone my whole life without knowing this
I wish I had 😂😭
Same ;_;
@Taiwanlight I ate them the day after watching this 😂
@Taiwanlight that was really good tho I thought it was a fr story 😂
I should've listened to this comment...
i've been doing this for years, but i drink the worm salt water and throw out the strawberries.
Bruh where are your likes.

@@vinsoid8485 it's because i'm white.
Wait... WHAT
PROTEIN
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know my mother grew collard greens in her yard and she always encounters numerous pests which is why she soaks them in salt water before thoroughly rinsing them. I am going to inform her to do the same with her strawberries now.
Vinegar works as well
Delete this video there's some things we shouldn't know
Shut up
like the worms that live in your eyelids... I wish i was never told about it
@@Tangobaldy nice try but I'm not looking into that
😂
So what eat those worms. Show them who’s higher on the food chain.
According to the video, us
Mmmm, yummy.
LMAO
Vegans
LOL
I should have never clicked on this video. Hopefully I forget within a year
They add more protein 🤷♂️
Nope, I'm scorned for life 🙃
I will reply to this comment a year later just to remind you.
@@wrightwing3992 lmaooo you're evillllllll
Next year is going to be rough @Wright Wing
THIS HAS HELPED SO MUCH OMG!! I used to have to dig in to the strawberries for the larva. Now I can have a nice wormy drink 😋🥰
Fascinating! Now that I know this, I will continue to gorge myself on strawverries straight from the package.
One of those times that I wish I was illiterate, deaf and blind
Why?
You actually get more protein by eating the bug so technically it benefits you
@@Bean-boi Im fine thanks
@@theodore4154 it's still gross
@@SkellyBones881 ignorance is bliss, and i wish to be ignorant of this
Guys. You shouldn't worry about eating bugs. It basically adds more protein to your diet.
Also the hydrochloric acid in your stomach kills them off because of its low PH of 1.5- 2. I used to be so disgusted with strawberry when I learnt this fact two years ago but I can't help not Like strawberries. I love strawberries so I've come to agree with this and still eat knowing it's normal. So just eat to your bliss, it's perfectly fine.
Look at it this way. It helps build your immune system 🤷♀️.

Right thanks for the confidence lol😅❤️
@@nicole5494 you're welcomeeee 🙂
The only thing harmful is the potential of pesticides. Do your research, figure out where your produce and fruits are coming from especially for us in North America where GMO’s are praised to no end. Trust me a few bugs is absolutely nothing compared to some of the pesticides used.
I just did this to the cherries I had picked from my cherry tree and many worms like those in the vid crawled out. I even opened some and there were about 5 in one of them! Feel disgusted now, because just yesterday, I was picking the cherries and eating them straight up O-O
I used to do the same when harvesting. Just rub on my shirt to get the pesticides off and pop em like a skittle
I live in Wales and I opened up a orange and noticed the inside looked messed up but luckily I didn't eat it, I looked around on it after I peeled it and saw multiple small white worms.
What's worse is the fact I've eaten multiple fruits before which implies I've probably eaten some of these bugs.
It’s protein don’t worry about it
So we're getting more protein from our berries than originally thought.
Frankly this is information I could have done without.
I- I don't think that's how this works....
Unknown Butterflies No no he's got a point.
😆
you known that there are some bugs that have more Protein in them then strawberries. Actually true
the amount of protein gained from the bugs is so minuscule in comparison to the actual strawberry
Why do you think strawberries are high in protein 😂😂
I’ve been eating only strawberries and I have a 8 pack and can bench press a train
Mr Bitty 😂😂
😉
I don’t understand why were grossed out by this when we literally have microscopic bugs on our eyelashes
freezeme360 search it up its real
I have pet white cell inside of my organ
Shut up... your a fool!
Mr H lol you don’t have to believe it but its true
@@mrh2504 reverse card :)
So a tiny bug that my stomach acid will easily dissolve or incredibly salty berries 😂😂😂 i choose the bug you obviously don't taste it and wouldn't have ever known it was there if this video hasn't pointed it out
I put my strawberry’s in a blender, chopped worms ain’t so bad
Mmmmm, sounds good.
Yummy
Instant protein shake mmmm
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Now imagine ALL the foods you make with strawberries... maggot ice cream, maggot jam, maggot cakes, maggot pies, maggot fruit salad, chocolate-dipped maggots, maggot granola bars...
i was watching homemade spider repellent videos then i saw this, i am happy ive never eaten berries
Ugh why did you.
Oh gawd! Stop for the love of satan! Ewww
I laughed Soo hard at this comment 😂😂😂😂
tastes good though
Thank you the tip,about rinsing the strawberries very well after salt water bath. Very helpful thank you so much.
*People after watching this*
"I'm not going to eat strawberries ever again"
Hahaha
Great, more for me!
But why?
I mean, we're still alive
Its not just strawberries
im eating strawberries while watching. here i share😫🤲🏼🍓🍓
I suddenly feel disgusted with the amount of protein I've gotten from my fruits.

Sour bugs🤢
Bugs are perfectly safe to eat, they are already in other everyday products. It’s more protein than beef.
"you must rinse the strawberries thoroughly with water or it will taste salty"
No shit, sherlock! 😂😂😂
Keep digging Watson.
Thank God! I just did this to my organic strawberries…ZERO bugs!! Yippee!!!
When you realize you liked eating strawberries : **writes a death letter**
My wife refused to eat the strawberries from a fruit salad we were sharing and then she told me about the works in strawberries. This morning I came back with two containers of strawberries I guess none for her lol
😂😂😂😂
HA!
I'll take my bugs frozen in a smoothie from now on.
Me a second ago: I like fruit
Me half a second ago: All fruit must be yeeted out the window immEDIATELY
Me, who has never eaten a single strawberry in my whole life: *surprised pikachu face*
....How?
@@ripelivejam They never choose to eat a strawberry
Poor vegans,its just ruined someones whole life style
LOL
Lmfaohahaha
As a vegan it ruined everything
😂😂😂😂
That part!
Me biting half the strawberry looking for bugs be like 👁👄👁
If the fly won't kill me, this background music definitely would
I am so glad I saw this, as I am getting blueberries delivered tomorrow.
I was eating fruits straight from the trees without even washing them when i was little. And i was happy about it. I was.
I love all kinds of berries and I will keep eating them. If it hasn't killed me yet it ain't going to...
same here
The bugs are mere free snacks, what a bargain
@@drkneelicker protein is protein lol
Angus Wesley u earned a subscriber for that 👍 now sub 2 me
@@fael4752 Lol, fiiiiineeeeee
How many times are you going to remind me that I’ve been eating them my whole life
I wish i never knew this and carried on with eating strawberries carelessly
That’s the problem with the world
This was done like over 3 years ago. People swear they be doing something new 😂
living in jamaica, i eat alot of fruit, when i was younger when ever i was eating some kind of fruit "normally just picked and unwashed" we could some times see the black spots where the bugs were, either we ate around it or just threw caution to the wind. i know exactly how bugs/worms taste by then, whenever i hit one i would be like hmmhm that a worm or something yuk. well its good protein and here i am almost 40yo.
How is your health and physique though..?
**me staring at my strawberries and raspberries**
hey! So I wanted to try this but..idk if it’s cold or warm the water could someone tell me?
So the question is where do you think those fruit flies that magically appear in your kitchen come from.
OMG I can not mutherfucking deal and this comment just really sent me over the edge!!! that's where the fruit flies come from!!!! your absolutely right..... ooooooooooh myyyyyyyy goooooooosh groooooooosssssssssssssss
Attention all snowflakes : there are bug larvae in basically all fruit . There is crushed insects in basically all processed products such as peanut butter. There is no way to escape it
That is very true but, we can minimalism the amount we eat.. or mabye humans could evolve to not have to eat,
Having grown up on a farm, I’m always surprised by how unaware some people are about the abundant lifeforms in their environment.
They made friends with the spiders who lay eggs in my ears at night, now the party never stops
But it’s so small, your stomach acid will kill them-
Facts. All TikTok users have tiny brains
@@obamagaming1039 Bruh what does tik tok have to do with this? All they did was show people what they were eating, and yes our stomach acid does kill them but, Some people just don't wanna eat bugs, If you do then fine
Germs are just like tiny bugs as well we just can’t see them
Yes and dogs are like spiders
This just shows that it’s better not to know what you’re putting in your mouth cuz it’s delicious
Just imagine how many bugs you ingest when you eat peanut butter.
Omg what-
protein😋
@@marii1161 oh yeah, they are allowed to have a couple rodent hairs and up to 30 bug parts for every 100 grams of peanut butter. So for a 16oz jar of peanut butter, that's roughly 135 bug parts and up to 8 rodent hairs. Imagine what's in the jam and bread as well. There's also roughly 15 fly eggs for every 100 grams of tomato sauce. Now just imagine what you eat that has tomato sauce... spaghetti, pizza, lasagna.. Oh yeah, every thing you eat has something disgusting in it that you never thought of. Not going to stop me enjoying my food though.
@@keinlieb3818 can u not lmao
@@keinlieb3818 Don’t even get me started on what’s in meat. If everyone knew what was in hot dogs, it would have people screaming
stomach acid for a reason 💀
@Ming Ming闭嘴 it kills of the bug instantly! The ph is low enough to be able to do that
That’s it, I have enough of fruit. Where are my cookies?
Chocolate also has bugs in it btw
I dont recommend eating chocolate chip cookies
Try snicker doodle :)
Cookies are made from cows milk in which has pus in it
chocolate has bugs in it too lmao, there are insect legs in them no joke
Sick, who knew I’ve been getting a protein boost while eating fruits all this time 🤩
Watching this while eating my bowl of strawberries 😂🥸
“While the thought of gnashing on bug filled berries may make you feel queazy...”
Me: I’m now eating every last bit of the strawberry whilst telling everyone around me how many bugs are in it.
If I ever get back to my work office, I am doing this.
yo i don't know what you americans are eating but i tried this and nothing came out from the strawberries
If it doesn’t have bugs then it was sprayed with pesticides
@@BlindIntent I have planted them myself, so I know there are no pesticides
Onepiece barca fly known as the spotted wing drosophila. After it lays eggs inside strawberries, they hatch and crawl out of strawberries when washed in warm salt water for around a half-hour.
Usa today article says it depends on how fresh they are as well 🤷 so yeah, right of the vine wouldn't be buggy
Then that just mean you're some of the lucky bunches that doesn't have bugs laying egg on your garden
Slimey yet satisfying.
*goes to grab a strawberry, looks at phone* *watches video until the end*
0-0
I don’t think I could ever eat fruit again...
With you on this !!!!
Bugs are in everything you eat stupid ass. meat, packaged food, chips, cooked or not
They are high in protein! Everything has bugs in it. Just get used to it! :)
They’re just ‘teeny tiny’ insects, then why make the video bishh now I can’t unsee it
Me who doesn’t like straw berries: I have no such weakness
Haven't been this shook since I found out about eye mites.
They said only Asians eat bugs. Look at you now.
U guys eat dogs bats and monkeys we are not the same
Lol 😂 😂
@Carlos Amezquita thanks Mr. Ceo of *Racism*
@@CodeNameDark i am against racism
@@carlosamezquita5484 don't assume all Asians eat that.. wow :(
i wonder how vegans are going to wriggle their way out of this one...
Is that a pun intended? cos the worms like wiggle out of the strawberry lol
😂
Bro vegans can eat bugs even though its counted as a “animal” you would still count as a vegan.same with salade with chicken it has meat or “animals” in it you would still be a vegan
魂のない We’re meant to be meat eaters back in the Stone Age we used to stab mammoths with spears or run them off cliffs, there’s nothing wrong with eating animals but if you don’t want to eat them you don’t have to but you shouldn’t be forcing people by how the eat I eat both meat and vegetables and I’m healthy as a horse.
Warrior Cat Fan AKA DragonCat Nobody’s forcing you!!!! At the end of the day , you control what goes in and out of your mouth . Smh 🤦🏽♀️ y’all swear we try and pressure y’all . This is our lifestyle and the way WE CHOOSE to eat.
lmao, people freaking out, but then happily getting a burger like its nothing.
I'm eating fruit rn and honestly I dont care because it's all nature and stuff we can't control
Also: these strawberries I'm eating are very yummy.😄
🍓🍓🍓Now you're making me rethink eating one of my favorite fruits.
Enjoy eating maggots
Same 😭
@@receivegreatest6802 😀
That's entirely normal. As my babushka said, if a worm's eating an apple, it's a good apple. And when you eat fresh picked berries, the bugs are obvious to say the least.
So...when the worms are all extracted from the strawberries, do i just gulp the water with the worms or??
You mix it with the E-girl bath water you got from your only fans Subscription and you shoot it up
Plot twist:spider live in strawberries sometimes
Bodybuılders be like: thats why we ate strawberrys
Y’all berries about to be salty af
That's why they should be cleaned in baking soda, not salt
Queen I Am but does that kill the worms?
@@eenzamevriend7183 , yes..it does
Maybe nature has us evolved enough to digest a tiny bug in a strawberry
I've been doing this wrong the whole time. I've been throwing away my strawberries and eating the bugs D:
Looking at the strawberry I'm currently eating " 👀 "
That’s nasty, but whatever. We also sleep in the same bed as bugs.
I wish i never knew about this.
One day i took a bite out of a slice of orange only to look down and discover that the rest of the slices had big white squirmy maggots in them. I pretty much instantly recoiled from shock and spat out as much orange as possible on the floor.
I haven’t eaten a single fruit since then. The thought of maggots just wriggling inside my apples or oranges is enough to make me completely lose my appetite to eat them whatsoever. I have eaten some berries, but after seeing a blueberry with mold all over (i have mycophobia) and removing a bug clinging to one of my strawberries i’ve decided to stick to fruit juice. At the very least there’s nothing alive in there.
I was cutting strawberries and then a whole tiny spider game out
Those natural bugs are the most nutritious part of your Monsanto berries.
They Poisonings our food supply
Malachi Foster No there not who told you that dumbass
Actually they are, and yes there exist an elite which is an ego that wants to keep control. They want luxury. Also what do you think government is lol 😂, govern mental
"These bugs wont hurt you according to CNN"
well that doesn't make me feel any better
It should cuz the bugs wont make the stawberry unhealthy, its still good for ya yknow
Don't worry extra protein
Hahhahahahaah right. That was the worst part. Mentioning advice from Tiktok was close second.
thanks Morgana for the tip
Wait, so people think eating bugs isn't normal?
*continues snacking on roaches*
Staring at a bowl of strawberries floating in salt water is not exactly exciting. That is, until some of those sweet berries reveal what's hiding under their ripe, red skin. It's a secret that has the Internet totally bugging out.
It all started with a TikTok video. The video showed tiny, white insects wiggling their way out of a few saltwater-soaked berries. Soon enough, the Strawberry Challenge went viral. People everywhere began to try and flush more creepy crawlers from their sweet hiding spots.
You can't believe everything you see online, of course. Plenty of people thought the claim could be a hoax. But the videos and the "Ewww's!" piled up. Finally, experts spoke up. They dished out the facts.
The bottom line: It's tough to totally avoid eating insects. They end up in all kinds of food. Even chocolate! Gross? Depends on your point of view. Bad for you? Not at all, experts say.
Berry Bugs
The larvae of a species of fruit fly are the most commonly found critters in strawberries. That's because they're sneaky, experts say. The females make a teeny-tiny slit in strawberries and other fruits. Then, they quietly lay their eggs inside. The cut is really small. The bugs bury the eggs deep. That's why fruit pickers don't see them. And likely neither will you. That is, unless you drown them out after they've hatched.
Other types of insects may also end up in fruits and vegetables. But even these bugs won't hurt you. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets safe levels of insects in food products in the United States. For instance, an average serving of peanut butter is allowed to have about 8 insect bits. A serving of pasta can have about 50. A standard-size chocolate bar can have up to 74! According to estimates, Americans unknowingly eat up to 2 pounds (1 kilogram) of insects every year.
Disgusting or Delicious?
Eating bugs may sound yucky. But it's common in many places all over the world. Some people point out that eating insects could reduce future food shortages. It could also help the environment. Bugs make the soil stronger. And they create fewer heat-trapping greenhouse gases. They're also easily farmed and don't need much water.
Of course, that doesn't mean you should go out and chow down on some daddy longlegs in your backyard. But it does show that you shouldn't worry about an extra-protein surprise in your produce. Still creeped out by the critters that may be hiding out in your fruits and veggies? Don't listen to the viral videos. You don't need to soak berries in salt water. Experts say washing produce in plain water is enough. That is, unless you like salty strawberries!
Very informative, but why waste all that time ;-;
@@SomeRaandomGuy it's because retards won't get it so someone needs to lecture em like me but I don't particularly care I just do a quick rinse and inhale them
If you’re not using social media to get paid, social media is a waste of time. And poison to the brain. That’s why I only use CZcams. But CZcams is slowly becoming Tiktok and it’s pissing me off.
@@epic_troll_3418 same, I do use CZcams everyday but I'm using it less often because of tiktok. If tiktok didn't exist on here and more content creators id watch on it more
let's hope they patch it in the next update 🙏🏻

How do I go back to a time before I watched this video and never watch it?
It adds flavor and crunch
I’ve always soaked mine in vinegar and water. Helps them stay fresh longer.

Good to know. I'd like to have no bug bits in the strawberries I'll be using to make the icing for my mother's birthday cake.
This why I always crush my grapes for extra security since I don't feel comfortable eating Bugs
Yep, it's the same bugs on grapes
Time to yeet my Barries again till I forget why and eat it again
I could never forgive tiktok for telling this. I’ve could’ve gone my entire life without knowing
People who fear bugs: AAAA batteries
Me: P R O T E I N
I’ve seen this a million times now. And I still can’t see the bugs/worms on the strawberry? Am I missing something?
I'd say if the fruit is more drenched in pesticide, you are less likely to actual see bugs in your fruit or veggies. Organic ones, while being more healthy for you, are bound to have bugs.
So my strawberry smoothies are filled with bugs 😢
But hey its extra protein since its include in your smoothies
So you gain more energy
@@suprisebuttsecksspy5958 well hey, that dairy you put in them have puss in them so.. you have worse problems than a little worm
Someone said their berries got slimy after trying this. I found a Katydid a while back, before washing them. He was still alive too. I wash mine multiple times with white vinegar and water in a one to 4 ratio. Then I see this salt thing. So which is it? I don't want to have slimy berries but also really dont want bugs.
This music is very fitting ngl
