DID YOU KNOW? Simply soaking your fruits and vegetables in baking soda and water for 15 minutes will remove most if not all of pesticides from the surface of produce. This is especially beneficial for fruits and vegetables found on the dirty dozen list .
There was research conducted at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where two apples 🍎 were submerge in the baking soda solution for two minutes and it proved to remove more pesticides than a two minute soak in bleach, vinegar or a two minute rinse under tap water. In the same study it took 15 minutes to remove all pesticides from the apples using the baking soda solution.
N.B. Lime can be added to the solution for a deeper clean .
