Cum să îndepărtezi pesticidele de pe legume și fructe? Nu folosi niciodată săpun sau detergent • Newsweek România

Proper washing of fruits and vegetables is crucial for reducing pesticide residues, with experts recommending simple methods like using tap water. Avoid soaps and detergents, as they can be absorbed by porous surfaces, posing health risks. Soaking produce is discouraged due to potential contamination. Thorough cleaning is essential for items with cracks or leaves, and even thick-skinned fruits should be washed to prevent dirt transfer. Using a clean brush can enhance the effectiveness of washing. Organic produce is the best option to avoid pesticides, although it may be more expensive and less accessible.
