    Hi, We all know that, nowadays, all fruits and veggies are coming to us with the pesticides, hence an option to remove that is , soak the vegetables and fruits in the water for 10 minutes, and then wash it thoroughly in the flowing water, this will reduce the pesticides to a great extent, or you also get the pesticide removing liquids in the super markets, you can also use that.

    Make sure that, you are not soaking the veggies and fruits for only 10 minutes, or else the water soluble nutrients will go away from those veggies and fruits..

    Yes dear, fruits and veggies are a very essential part of the diet. Consuming these is the best way to gain every vital nutrient that the body requires. As you rightly said, it is necessary to properly wash every fruit/vegetable before consuming/cooking. Thanks a lot

    hi friends,
    Always select fruits and veg which is in its own shape.(i.e.. not too small not too big). and soak it in salted hot water for 10 minutes and use. Especially grapes we should take it from the stems and soak it in hot salted water because when its raw they dip the grapes in pesticides to make it ripen and firm. famous cookery expert Mrs. Mallika badrinath told this once in a TV show.

    Hi all,

    Check on the fruits like apple, pear etc...some of them are coated with wax and make it look attractive, shining and clean..avoid such fruits and if at all you are consuming it peel the skin before that...
