Methods/steps
Leafy vegetables
Pay special attention to the cleaning of Chinese cabbage, rape and cabbage.
After buying leafy vegetables, spread them out and let some pesticides evaporate. Sunlight irradiation can decompose and destroy pesticides, and the content of organochlorine can be greatly reduced after five minutes of irradiation.
When cleaning rape, cut more from the roots so that each leaf is scattered and disconnected. Vegetable roots are recommended to be discarded.
After the leaf menu is broken off, rinse it with running water. Because the pesticides in the leaves will flow to the roots of the leaves, there are more pesticides left in the roots.

pepper
Pepper spraying pesticides is generally sprayed from top to bottom, and it is most likely to remain in the pedicle.
Remove the pedicle when cleaning, and it is best to cut off the pedicle and throw it away; Wash it before cutting, otherwise pesticides will enter the human body through the incision; Washing is more important than soaking. Wash every face and brush it with a soft toothbrush. Rinse with tap water, soak in fresh water, add two spoonfuls of edible baking soda, and remove some pesticides by acid-base neutralization. When organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides encounter alkaline substances such as baking soda, their toxins will be reduced. The edible baking soda powder is water-soluble and can be cleaned without residue.
