minus-squareBarqsHasBitecakelinkfedilink16•6 months agoI think I’m going to continue washing apples, cucumbers, things like that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•edit-26 months agoI was a farmer; you should. Especially potatoes and fruit.
minus-squareBarqsHasBitecakelinkfedilink1•edit-26 months agoThere’s not even any dirt on potatoes. They must pressure wash them, (you also don’t eat them raw).
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•6 months agoI still give them a good rinse and rub with a sponge.
minus-squarez500linkfedilinkEnglish6•6 months agoI worked in a produce department for a bit and the lettuce definitely had dirt and the occasional bug in it before we trimmed and rinsed it
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink20•6 months agoYou should know that lettuce is not a potato then.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•6 months agoAlways wash the dirty dozen! Strawberries Spinach Kale, Collard and Mustard Greens Peaches Pears Nectarines Apples Grapes Bell and Hot Peppers Cherries Blueberries Green Beans
minus-squareBarqsHasBitecakelinkfedilink3•edit-26 months agoWell that’s pesticides. My list is related to warehouse gunk, rats, people coughing on them, etc. *PSA: to get rid of pesticides soak in baking soda bath. They break down.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoI’m aware, just adding to the conversation is all
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoYou didn’t wash fruits and vegetables until Covid came?
minus-squareBarqsHasBitecakelinkfedilink3•6 months agoWhen I got home from the store and in soap and water? No. It was a rinse off with water when you ate it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoOkay. Phew. I was hoping no one just ate everything without a rinse. But soap? Really?
