Thread Name: BS: Veggie/Fruit Wash?
Subject: RE: BS: Veggie/Fruit Wash?
'Organic' fruits and vegetables are treated with pesticides - copper salts and pythethrum.
So whatever you buy, wash it. Besides, you never know if a person with unclean hands touched the food before you bought it.
I wash everything with clear water, and I wash mushrooms in cool water with a bit of dish detergent. That's because the compost just seems to cling to them.
