Fruits and vegetables full of pesticides, here’s how to remove them in the blink of an eye

You can use several natural remedies to remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables.

Here are some effective methods:

1. Cold Water and Salt: Washing fruits and vegetables in cold water with the addition of salt can help remove pesticides. For fruits like peaches, pears, apples, plums, tomatoes, and salad, it’s recommended to wash them individually under running water because pesticides can be found inside.
2. Coarse Salt: Coarse salt is another natural remedy. You can sprinkle coarse salt on the food and then wash it under running water, preferably cold. Salt acts as a pesticide and helps remove pesticide residues naturally.
3. Vinegar Soak: Vinegar is effective in removing pesticides from fruits. Mix 1 glass of vinegar with 2 glasses of water in a bowl. Soak the fruits and vegetables in this solution for about thirty minutes, then scrub them with a brush to remove residues. Finally, rinse them with plenty of cold water.
4. Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda): Baking soda ensures thorough cleaning of fruits and vegetables and is readily available in most households. You can soak the food in a container with water and baking soda after washing it with running water. Use one tablespoon of baking soda for every liter of water. Alternatively, create a paste with water and baking soda and rub it on foods like aubergines, peppers, pears, and apples to remove traces of pesticides.
5. Baking Soda and Lemon Mixture: Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and half a cup of water to create an effective mixture. Transfer the solution to a spray bottle and spray it on the food. Then rinse the food with plenty of cold water.

Choose the method that you find most suitable and consume your fruits and vegetables with confidence, knowing that you’ve removed any pesticide residues effectively and naturally.
