Are the fruits and vegetables you buy clean enough to eat?!


Question: Are the fruits and vegetables you buy clean enough to eat?
Answers:

Um... Not always. There are quite a few things you want to buy organic to be safe. However there are some things that are okay without washing (Things with skins you peel off, mainly).

My Mother had a vegetable garden and grew plenty of different things. We'd always just rinse things off real quick to get rid of the dirt we could see and chow down.



They need to be washed prior to eating but NOT prior to storing. You can make a disinfecting solution for fruits and veggies and keep it in a spray bottle and at hand.

In a spray bottle, combine 1/4 bottle white vinegar, 1/8 bottle hydrogen peroxide, and then fill the rest of the bottle with filtered water. Pray fresh veggies with this, then rinse and wipe well, then use the veggies.



lots of factors come into question with this...
organic food isnt always organic, and it may contain stuff... just stuff.
the majority of fruits like apples and oranges are sprayed with wax to add a waxy shiny complexion and to retain moisture and freshness on the ride.
but regardless the fruit or origin, always wash it or rub it on your shirt or a napkin before you bite into it. (except for fruit that required you not to eat the outside).
everthings dirty nowadays



Not really.
They have been 'rinsed' by the wherever they came from, but have been handled and stored in warehouses since. (Mice etc)

Clean them before you eat them.
Even though i usually don't and my mom says its nasty. - i'm lazy.



Most definately not. I know, because, i bought bananas once, and it had black clumps of something, and spiders in grapes too.

So no, they are not clean. Sorry
