Anytime I’ve eaten an apple, for instance, I always go the wash and scrub route (specifically with a fruit/veggie scrubber), but recently I’ve read that it’s recommended to soak your fruit and/or veggies in a water+baking soda/water+vinegar solution for at least 10 minutes on top of scrubbing to remove pesticides.

Also, for people who might now know, doesn’t matter if you go the organic route, there still likely pesticides usage.

I rinse it under water for approximately 30 seconds and then call it a day

You’re doomed.

rinse under water for like 5 seconds

I just give them a nice little lick before throwing them in the pan

Rinsing water over something is not cleaning by the way.

I don't eat raw vegetables or fruit usually so I assume cooking them is enough and I've never gotten sick

So to answer the question the answer is not at all

That’s the way. But you should let it soak for 1 hour minimum. Also you should rinse, change the water + baking soda and repeat 2 times. That really gets 95% off. 10 minutes you will still have like 50%

scrubbing too!

Yeah fr

this

niggas be super overthinking every little thing ever

Scrub the vegetables if they got some dirt on them but like an apple? 5 second job

Always rinse em before using but never more than like 10 sec

people be doing this and then break their neck falling off a couch

I really hope I never meet some of y'all.

That seems like too much effort to enjoy a simple honey crisp tbh.

dudes be buying their fruit from stands next to the nuclear plant

Enjoy your pesticides 👍

Weak immune systems itt

some pesticide in your body is fine, gotta train them just like your muscles and immunity system

gotta be debilitatingly autistic to do this

If that 💀
