It is often said that washing vegetables and fruits with washed rice can remove pesticide residues on the surface. Is it true?/You don't say. Some experts said that washing fruits and vegetables with rice can really wash away the pesticides on the surface, but it must be left for a while before cleaning.

Experts explained, "Because rice washing water is alkaline, it can reduce harmful substances in vegetables", but the alkalinity of freshly washed rice water is not obvious, and the effect of washing vegetables after fermentation will be better. Therefore, if you are washing vegetables, try not to use rice washing water immediately, but leave it for a while, because rice washing water will ferment in the process of placing, its viscosity will become larger and larger, and its alkalinity will also increase.

In addition, the rice washing water itself has a certain viscosity, which can adsorb some pesticides and chemicals attached to the food surface. In addition to vegetables, it is also very effective for cleaning some fruits, including grapes, mulberries, strawberries and other fruits that are not easy to clean. It is also safer to use rice washing water.
