Let's be honest, here. When we buy produce from the store, do you wash it before using it? If so, how do you know you're washing it in the best way you can?
Freshly bought produce (yes, even organic), is FILTHY. It may not look like it, but oh my - it needs a serious bath. Between the many hands of others that have touched it, to people breathing and coughing and sneezing on it, to being sprayed for preservation on the farms and in the warehouses, to being loaded and packed and shipped and coming in contact with all kinds of other invisible culprits, I'll say it again - our store bought produce is filthy. And actually, according to the Environmental Working Group (an organization of scientists, researchers, and policymakers), the most contaminated fruits and vegetables are peaches, strawberries, pears, lettuce, apples, cherries, bell peppers, spinach, nectarines, imported grapes, celery, and potatoes.
I bet that'll make you think twice before you just do a quick rinse and take a bite out of your new apple, huh?
