Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 [ ] Washing Veggetables Hello Everyone, Since starting the CRON diet, I'm washing alot of veggies. I was wondering what everyone else does to get the waxy film off of things like tomatoes. Sincerely, Tomatoes are the one item I don't wash that well. Mostly I cook them. I don't like using chemicals to sterilize veggies. Most fresh fruits I peel to remove that layer/film you speak of. I'm concerned about the stuff on fresh F & V now so I eat mostly frozen veggies, even canned fruits. When I do eat fresh lettuces, basil, I dip them in a diluted vinegar solution, but I doubt it kills everything. Regards Quote
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Many fruits & vegetables contain a large proportion of their nutrients in the peels, so it's not clear that eliminating the peels is a good approach. Are you aware of any studies indicating that pesticide residues (or soap residues, for that matter) on fresh fruits/veggies are harmful? -Dave > > > [ ] Washing Veggetables > > > Hello Everyone, > > Since starting the CRON diet, I'm washing alot of veggies.
