minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·9 months agoI think I’m going to continue washing apples, cucumbers, things like that.
minus-squareMonkderZweite@feddit.chlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·edit-29 months agoI was a farmer; you should. Especially potatoes and fruit.
minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down6·edit-29 months agoThere’s not even any dirt on potatoes. They must pressure wash them, (you also don’t eat them raw).
minus-squarez500@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·9 months agoI worked in a produce department for a bit and the lettuce definitely had dirt and the occasional bug in it before we trimmed and rinsed it
minus-squareAlexstarfire@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·9 months agoYou should know that lettuce is not a potato then.
minus-squareRiven@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·9 months agoI still give them a good rinse and rub with a sponge.
minus-squareJargonWagon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·9 months agoAlways wash the dirty dozen! Strawberries Spinach Kale, Collard and Mustard Greens Peaches Pears Nectarines Apples Grapes Bell and Hot Peppers Cherries Blueberries Green Beans
minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-29 months agoWell that’s pesticides. My list is related to warehouse gunk, rats, people coughing on them, etc. *PSA: to get rid of pesticides soak in baking soda bath. They break down.
minus-squarenifty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoIt’s not just pesticides. You can get residual germs from bad agricultural practices, which is why we get E. coli and listeria outbreaks from vegetables.
minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-29 months agoYes but the “dirty dozen” specifically refers to pesticides.

minus-squareJargonWagon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoI’m aware, just adding to the conversation is all
minus-squareaulin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoYou didn’t wash fruits and vegetables until Covid came?
minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoWhen I got home from the store and in soap and water? No. It was a rinse off with water when you ate it.
minus-squareaulin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoOkay. Phew. I was hoping no one just ate everything without a rinse. But soap? Really?
