Yes, wash your veg especially, not because of stuff they spray on, but root veg might have small stones and mud on them, don’t want to break your teeth now do you?
Fruit and veg are likely to have dirt, bacteria and pesticide residues on the skin. Whilst the risk is low, it’s easy enough to rinse any unpeeled fruit/ veg.
Assuming the premise to be true,
Does a quick rinse under the tap actually make any difference whatsoever to this, or is it just pointless habit that makes us feel better?
Mushrooms are grown in mushroom compost, which contains poo.
Worse, I heard they contain fungus. Actual fungus, like you see growing on things, mushrooms are full of the stuff!! Ew.
All shop bought fruit and veg is washed in our house.
All home grown stuff usually ends up in my mouth and hardly gets near the sink to be washed (even though it’s grown in poo).
Why do people put fruit such as melons, pineapples, bananas, grapefuit etc in a bag? It’s already in a big chunky skin 🙄
Theres a set stand off time after spraying and harvest, so there’s little chance of being poisoned by sprays (assuming we’re taking UK grown at least).
