  • How To Properly Wash your Fruits and Vegetables:
    1. Put your fruits and veggies into a bowl and add a couple of teaspoons of baking soda.
    2. Fill the bowl up with cold water and let everything sit for at least fifteen minutes.
    3. Dump that nasty water and rinse your produce as usual before storing it in an air-tight container.
    It doesn't take much time, but it'll help remove all the pesticides, dirt, and whatever else might be on your produce.
    That's how you can really get your fruits and veggies clean. No B.S.

      Complete bullshit. Put a small piece of paper or something to absorb moisture in the air and they will last much longer. Otherwise just properly dry before storing them.

    I'm actually a Horticultural engineer. The "dirt" is actual tannins from strawberries which diluted with the water. There are no pesticides in a finished product, there are FDA regulations on when is the last time before picking up a fruit you are alloud to treat any plant. Apples are covered in a thin layer of wax and citrus has fungicide as they go bad easily, that's it.

  • @Pumanic
    @Pumanic Před 5 měsíci +648

    They don't spray pesticides on ripe fruit, it's sprayed much earlier in the season, and is absorbed by the plants that produce the fruit. It's in the produce not on it. On the surface there could be a ton of bacteria or possibly parasite eggs though depending on how much it's been handled and where it was processed/stored, so washing it may still prevent illness, but it won't get rid of pestecides.

    • @Padraigp
      @Padraigp Před 5 měsíci

      Ok so you've basically explained exactly why they spray fruit with pesticide. When fruit is picked it is then packed and put in a lorry to go from Spain to Ireland or isreal to Russia...tomatoes strawberries all of them can get mold bacteria insect eggs on it ...if its not sprayed with whatever the fugg it is they spray on them before packing them it would spoil. I dont know if its pesticide but its chemical spray that is extremely adhesive. If you've ever worked on a fruit farm you'd know the. Shit they spray on them after being picked ..you have to wear a full body suite and a ventilator in the spraying sheds and even when you get home to shower its duck to your skin in your hair stuck to you like a smell of ...anyway that's what they're trying go remove but I doubt baking soda removes it. It took weeks to shower that stuff off

      @cynthiadickerson5403 but they do. Maybe they're not pesticides but my boyfriend has worked doing fruit picking and after they pick the fruit they put it in a big polytunnel and they spread it with this green stick stuff. They have to wear hazmat suites. At least for tomatoes and strawberries they used that. It stops them rotting or any insects getting into the packaging ..its disgusting toxic stuff whatever it is. Maybe it's fungicide not pesticide but they do spray it with chemicals.n

      @@mgarz7891 so that shouldn't happen in 15 minutes. If the fruit you're soaking are soft fruit like strawberries and they go mushy after 15 minutes they may be already gone off ..they should be firm and juicy when you buy them not soft but kinda crisp like a cucumber. If they're a plum or peach they can be soft but again they should stay the same for 15 minutes. Fruit are not porous so they don't absorb any of the water toure soaking them in. If anything they're hydrophobic.

      The fact that everyone is commenting the same thing because all these videos forget to point that out.

Mostly because they forgot or don't feel like doing the extra step because it was fine last time.

      75% of non-organic fresh produce that sold in the U.S. contains some kind of pesticides. Even google tells you that. Thats why its always said to wash the food before you eat it. The thing that you should not actually wash is raw chicken. Washing or rinsing raw chicken does not get rid of the bacteria on it, cooking it does. All rinsing it does is spread the bacteria around your kitchen.

    *Total misinformation here.*
    For thin skinned fruits (and vegetables for that matter), there's no "washing off" the pesticides, no matter what you do. The pesticides are absorbed into the flesh during the growing process, and they're there to stay.
    There's a list put out every year called the "dirty dozen". It lists the 12 worst fruits and vegetables when it comes to pesticide contamination (as well as the 12 best).
    Unfortunately, the only way to truly have pesticide free produce is to grow it yourself. This is because even if you buy "organic", the truth is the criteria is completely unregulated. In reality, the term is used more often than not as a gimmick to get people to pay more for questionably grown produce.
    Truth is, there ain't nothing easy in life, shortcuts usually come with penalties, and tons of people are just downright unscrupulous and out to get you.
    Best to keep that in mind folks.

    When the leaves come out easy it means the plant was frozen in shipping. The pineapple is a live plant when it is frozen the plant is dead. The leaves come out only if the plant was frozen and died.

    I think the premise of this vid is great. Unfortunately most pesticides are systemic, which means they are actually within all of the cells of the plant, so they cannot be washed off.

    chemical engineer, here. sadly, this video's hack is horse 💩.
    the solubility of organophosphates & carbamate insecticides, two of the most common insecticides, ≈200 mg/L that is very low solubility. adding a base (baking soda) to the wash water won't increase the solubility.
    atrazine, most common herbicide in USA, is even less dissolvable in water 70 mg/L.
    i don't know why he suggests cold water. cold water is an even worse solvent for organic molecules (not well solubilize in water) than hot water.
    *you're better off with warm soapy water and a thorough rinse in warm water*
    however this doesn't remove the portion of pesticide that plant tissue adsorbs and some pesticide metabolites are more toxic than the pesticide. so if you want zero pesticides you gotta grow your own (organic isn't always what it's advertised to be).
    also as someone else in the comments wisely pointed out, putting damp fruit in a sealed container will accelerate spoilage. that's not an issue in a busy commercial kitchen but he advertised it for home kitchens.

    You want pesticides-free fruits and vegetables? Start growing them on your own. The pesticides are not just on the surface of fruits and vegetables. They're absorbed inside them throughout the growing process. When they spray the crop with pesticides, it goes into soil from where the crops absorb it through their roots.
    Yes, there's pesticides on the outside as well and you can wash them off but don't expect to FULLY getting rid of them because you just can't. But a little bit of cleaning does help...
    Also, if you're buying your produce from a brand then it's most likely that that produce is already washed before packaging
