It is a spectacular habit to soak or wash your produce before you eat, because washing does remove a considerable amount of toxins from your fruits and veggies, especially when done with cold water. However, with such complex & concentrated chemical pesticides being used in large-scale agriculture today, is cleaning with just plain water a safe bet? Probably not.
More is better - when it comes to extra fries, maybe. But your laundry detergent? Absolutely not. Chances we are already using more than what we need to anyway. Not only are we washing away the dirt down the drain but also our money.
All of us at some point in our lives have been chided for not washing our hands before eating. If anything that’s the one thing that we’ve all been grilled about until it became a habit. Anyway, now with this dreaded pandemic on, thank goodness am I right?
Being environmentally cautious is the need of the hour, it is an idea we are much too familiar with but often have trouble knowing where to start. With hordes of plastic mounting up in landfills and choking the earth, it’s not simply enough to acknowledge it but to actually do something about it.
