This is the only way to remove pesticides from strawberries, but we are all wrong!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do this to wash the strawberries and get rid of the pesticides<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also this year, the Dirty Dozen, the terrible dozen, was published:  EWG<\/strong> , an acronym for Environmental Working Group, an American non-profit organization active in protecting the environment,  has developed the ranking of fruits and vegetables to determine the amount of pesticides present.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresas<\/strong>  won the gold medal and  took first place in the dirty dozen 2023<\/strong> . Unfortunately, if they come from traditional and non-organic crops, they are treated with chemical additives, which by their very nature tend to absorb like sponges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we must consider that they do not have a protective skin, therefore, nothing protects them from the attack of parasites or toxic substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is not possible to give them up: they contain  potassium, manganese, folic acid, vitamin <\/strong> C<\/strong> , antioxidants that are very useful for heart and skin health. In short, they are a panacea for the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only one solution: wash them well! Sure! But how can you be sure that you have removed all the contaminating waste? Shall we explain it to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do this to wash the strawberries and get rid of the pesticides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always wash strawberries before consuming them. Don’t do it in advance! Even if you dry them very well, humidity accelerates their rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there are at least 3  procedures to remove pesticides where they are present<\/strong>  (we can only be sure of their absence by buying organic products or growing them ourselves!),  There are at least <>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first involves the use of  water<\/strong>  and  salt:<\/strong> dissolve a teaspoon in a warm cup and let it cool completely, then soak the strawberries for two minutes and then rinse them under running water. This solution also allows you to get rid of mosquitoes and insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not the only way: you can also make a mixture of  red wine<\/strong>  and  vinegar. <\/strong> Dilute a glass of water in two and let them decant for about ten minutes. The slightly alcoholic acid solution will completely avoid the presence of toxic substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there is also a method to wash strawberries with water and  baking soda:<\/strong>  one tablespoon is enough for each liter of  water<\/strong> . Place the fruit in a bowl and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then rinse them one by one and remove the stem only once dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that none of these operations are a waste of time, but rather an investment in health!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
