How to avoid eating fruits and vegetables, agricultural medicines? Regarding the problem of fruit and vegetable and agricultural medicine retention, the Agricultural Knowledge Entrance Network data points out that for fruits and raw vegetables, cleaning is the only way to reduce agricultural medicine retention, except for peeling and removing leaves. However, studies have shown that any cleaning method can only remove the retention of agricultural medicines left on the surface, the difference is only in the amount of water used, how to wash away the cleaner and reduce the loss of nutrients. Some people use physical or chemical cleaning methods to clean fruits and vegetables. In fact, this will destroy the organization of fruits and vegetables and affect their flavor. Leave it for too long or soak it for too long, and the nutrients of fruits and vegetables will still be lost, and the agricultural medicines that have entered the plant are still not able to be removed. The best method is to soak it in clean water for a while and then wash it carefully. If you don’t think it’s too bad, you can use some salt as a cleaning agent to avoid the chemical cleaning agent being left.
