The toxic journey of vegetables,
salads and fruits from farm to our
dining table is the reason of
heightened diseases impact on our
daily life
BIG QUESTION
The toxic journey of vegetables,
salads and fruits from farm to our
dining table loaded with pesticides
, fungicides, dirt, grime, tobacco
residues, bacteria, artificial
waxes, etc. are sold in the market
and we feed our family with toxic
cocktail everyday. How should we
wash the vegetables and fruits
before consuming them?
SIMPLE ANSWER
Fruits and vegetables are sprayed
with toxic chemicals to protect them
from pest attack, fungal attack, so
the ever increasing human population
can be fed. Till we find a practical
solution to insecticide, pesticide,
fungicide, or lets say chemical free
vegetables and fruits and protect
our families from daily toxic
intake, use common sense practices
and live a healthy life.
Look for fresh-looking fruits and
vegetables that are not bruised. The
bruised or broken skin which will
indicate that the vegetable or fruit
has already been contaminated. Germs
can adhere to the surface of
vegetable and can be passed to the
flesh when cut. Do not purchase
anything that doesn't smell fresh,
and do not buy packaged vegetables
that look slimy.
Purchase the required quantity of
vegetables and fruits which is going
to be consumed today or max
tomorrow.
Once purchased wash all purchased
vegetables and fruits or salads
immediately on reaching kitchen wash
area.
Do not stuff in the refrigerator
for later washing.
Wash all vegetables and fruits
thoroughly with Veg 'n' fru wash
before consuming, extra vegetables
or fruits can then be stored in the
refrigerator for later use.
Veg 'n' fru wash is an edible
ingredients based vegetable and
fruit wash specially developed with
years of research for washing away
all surface contaminants like
pesticide residue, fungicide
residue, dirt, grime, soil, wax,
etc. It basically dissolves the
resinous layer present on the
surface of all vegetables and fruits
on which all insecticide residue
holds or bacteria or fungus
flourishes. That layer being
insoluble in water is not washed off
by mere plain water rinsing hence
all vegetables and fruits to be
thoroughly clean with Veg 'n' fru
wash and then rinsed with water to
get squeaky clean vegetables and
fruits. EAT
CLEAN - LIVE HEALTHY.
Even the vegetables like gourds,
zucchini, etc. and fruits like
oranges should also be washed as the
bacteria while peeling the vegetable
can transfer to the peeler or can
transfer to your hand while peeling
by hand and then when the peeler or
your hand touches the inner skin of
the vegetable or fruit they get
transferred to the inner part of the
vegetable or fruit hence causing
health hazard on eating.
Water used can be brought to luke
warm in winters or normal room
temperatures in summer.
Depending on the fragility of the
produce being handled use
appropriate methods of handling the
produce to ensure to damage is done
to invite the bacterial attack. Soft
fruits should not be left in water
for long as they may loose flavor.
All leafy vegetables like lettuce,
spinach, fenugreek, etc. should be
thoroughly cleaned dipped within the
water as the ridges on their surface
are great bacteria breeding zones
and if not cleaned properly the
bacteria will grow in no time. If
the bunch of leaf is bigger or the
quantity larger or the time shorter
then douche the bunch in
Veg 'n' fru
wash mixture thoroughly
and then fresh water for as long as
convenient.
Cut away the bruised, slimy area
while eating raw or before cooking.
When in doubt throw it out.
USE simple commonsense techniques
and live life healthy. |
