The application of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc do not only take place while the crop is growing, but can also be applied as a seed treatment, or post-harvest to assist with transportation, storage, or the cosmetic look of a fruit or vegetable.
The residues detected on a particular fruit or vegetable will depend on which pesticides have been used and how persistent they are. Food items may contain the residues of just one pesticide, while in others the residues of multiple pesticides are detectable. Due to the nature of many of the new systemic types of pesticides, residues are contained within the entire piece of produce rather than just on the surface. As a result, peeling or washing fruits and vegetables before eating is often not enough to prevent exposure to pesticides.
Additionally, raw fruits and vegetables contain harmful germs that can make you and your family very sick. We have come up with a very safe and reliable product called Vegsafe Vegetable and Fruit Wash.
