How To Actually Remove Pesticides From Your Fruit

Do you rinse your fruits and vegetables before eating? Water can't get rid of all those pesticides.

This is because some produce, like apples, soak the chemicals inside, making it impossible to wash off. Some opt for the organic ingredients but produce grown organically can still have pesticides.

A recent study suggests baking soda may be the answer. Simply mix some baking soda with water to make sodium bicarbonate, then soak your produce for 12-15 minutes.

The researchers did this to apples they treated with 2 pesticides: thiabendazole and phosmet. After the apples soaked in the baking soda mix for 15 minutes, neither of the two pesticides were left on the apple.

This is because sodium bicarbonate degraded them.

The study shows how to remove 2 pesticides from fruit.

There are still over 100 pesticides that can make it onto your food. Is a pesticide-free diet becoming impossible?

    Why the hell are they just finding this out? This should have been discovered a hundred years ago!

    Just peeling the apple removes like 99% of any kind of pesticide (also removes nutrition though). But anyway, pesticides do not even harm us unless we are the ones that spray them.

    Maybe we should study science to figure out how far we can compromise with change and survive

    Dude, if you have to treat organic foods for 15 minutes before it's safe to eat, then there is a serious problem with the food supply.

    Sorry, but that's complete bullshit. Besides apples are not allowed to be sprayed, only the blossom. The residues of those so-called pesticides are even so little that it would cause you more damage to drink water out of a plastic bottle (with residues in the water from the plastic bottle itself) or eating something from a table you just took out of your dishwasher, or to have forgotten to wash your hands after filling your car with gazoline.

    Thats only removing 2 of the 47 known pesticides used on apple. This method only removes outer/surface layer. How are you going to remove the ones that were used during its growth stage being sprayed routinely that have all sinked into the fruit.
