Washing Fruits and Veggies: Is Water Enough?
The FDA does not currently recommend using soap when washing fruits and vegetables. I wonder, though, about pesticide residues that don't dissolve in water, and likewise for waxy preservatives that encase apples and similar produce. Certainly, shoppers transfer skin oils that aren't water-soluble whenever they hunt through produce bins. Even organic fruits and vegetables are probably filled with oil-based fingerprints (I imagine a bag of nectarines would keep a CSI busy for many days, and who knows what consumers touched before visiting the produce department) . . . .
When trying to find reliable information, I came across a very informative video (runs about 4 minutes). I find this video fascinating, yet I don't know whether I should accept the views and suggestions it presents for washing fruits and veggies.
