How to wash fruit and vegetables in order to remove any pesticide and toxic waste

The remains of pesticides have been observed in 11 percent of organic crop samples as a result of accidental or abusive use, contaminant by nonorganic neighboring fields, or the continued presence of insecticides on earth.

There are many commercial products on the market for washing fruits and vegetables that claim to remove pesticides.

Most of these devices have been tested and were simply losses of money. For example, the company “Procter & Gamble” had a product claiming to have proved to be 98% more effective than water, for removing pesticides. When tested, however, he did nothing more than tap water.

The extraction of water products in general removes less than half of the pesticides.

One effective way is the 5 percent concentration of acetic acid, with white vinegar in other words, which removes much of the leftover pesticides.

But it would be expensive to buy all those liters of vinegar just to wash fruit and vegetables, writes Living. Unfortunately, the vinegar rinsion is just a little more effective than running water.

Fortunately, there is a solution that is both free and effective - salted water.

A 10 percent - concentration salt wash is as effective as vinegar.

To prepare the very water of pesticides, add water and salt to 1 to 9.

Just make sure you wash the salt away from vegetables and fruit before you consume it.
