Formaldehyde is a common substance, which is harmful to health, but its colorless and odorless characteristics make it difficult for people to find it in their lives, which exposes many people to the harm of formaldehyde and brings great health risks to the body. Formaldehyde also exists in various vegetables, which is harmful to people's diet. Let's take a look at how to remove formaldehyde from vegetables.

Formaldehyde is easily soluble in water and volatile. After careful cleaning, the vegetables bought from the market have little residue and can be safely eaten. After people buy food, it is best to peel off the outer layer and wash it with clear water several times. If time permits, it is best to soak in a bubble, which can basically wash off the formaldehyde solution.

Formaldehyde is a protoplasm poison, which destroys the protein of biological cells, damages human skin, respiratory tract and internal organs, anesthetizes people's central nervous system and causes pulmonary edema, hepatic coma and renal failure. The World Health Organization has confirmed that formaldehyde has teratogenic and carcinogenic effects, and long-term exposure will lead to gene mutation.

Washing vegetables is actually nothing more than soaking for a while, but there are ways to soak. First, you have to know what to soak them in. Bian Xiao suggested that you soak them in salt water.
