Beyond Water: The Right Way to Clean Fruits for Your Health

• Simple water washing is insufficient to remove pesticides, wax, and harmful compounds from fruits.
• Long-term consumption of uncleaned fruits can lead to digestive issues, skin problems, and serious illnesses.
• Effective cleaning methods include soaking in saltwater, using a vinegar and baking soda solution, and scrubbing with warm water and a brush.
• Saltwater is ideal for grapes and berries, while vinegar and baking soda remove wax from apples.
• Always clean hands before handling fruits and avoid washing soft fruits for too long to prevent mushiness.
