Before fruits and vegetables get to grocery stores, supermarkets and eventually to our homes, they go through various processes that expose them to different contaminated surfaces. Fruits and vegetables come into contact with pesticides, herbicides, artificial oils and waxes, and pathogens that are harmful to our health before and during harvest as well as during transportation. Proper cleaning of produce is therefore paramount.
A quick survey within your friend groups, family or community on how they clean produce will reveal different opinions. Some of these being pure facts while others being mere myths, and because we care about your health, here are a few myths that we have heard about so far.
4 myths on proper cleaning of fruits and vegetables
1. “Organic Produce is clean, no need to wash” : Wash your produce whether they are organic, home-grown or not, Germs do not discriminate.
2. “Wash with soap and product sprays” : Soap and detergents may leave residue on your produce thus rendering this method completely unsafe.
3. Skip washing if you are peeling: Always wash your produce before peeling as germs can be transferred to the part you are planning on eating during peeling or cutting.
4. Use diluted bleach to clean: Bleach can get absorbed by the produce, changing flavor and causing food poisoning.
