We often rinse our fruits and vegetables with large amount of water, or we soak them in salt water. However, rinsing with large amount of water can only wash away the dust and soil found on the surface of the fruits and vegetables. Soaking in salt water uses the principle of osmotic pressure to cause clams spitting sand and insects to escape from cauliflowers but it can only do so much.
As for the herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals, using salt water might only create more trouble. Not only is it unable to remove those harmful chemicals but may also produce some other harmful ingredients.
Other folk remedies such as the use of rice water, sugar, vinegar, honey and the likes in fact cannot remove the harmful oil-soluble chemical substances that are attached to the fruits and vegetables.
It is recommended to choose a professional fruit and vegetable cleaning agent to completely remove the harmful chemical substances, allowing you and your family to eat with peace of mind.
