Beyond Water: The Right Way to Clean Grapes for Health and Safety

• Market grapes may carry pesticides and chemicals, making proper cleaning essential for health.
• Plain water washing is insufficient; chemicals can cause allergies, stomach aches, or chronic issues.
• Dr. Raj Kumar suggests using salt water: soak grapes for 15-20 minutes to kill bacteria and germs.
• Baking soda solution (half teaspoon in one liter water) for 15 minutes helps reduce pesticide residues.
• White vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) for 10-15 minutes effectively kills germs and loosens residues.
