Are strawberries really the dirtiest fruits and vegetables?

In fact, many people have been misled. The so-called "strawberry is the dirtiest" is actually because it detects the most kinds of pesticide residues. But in fact, there is no necessary connection between the types of pesticide residues and whether the food is clean or not.

For example, there are 10 pesticide residues in strawberries, but the content of each pesticide is very low, which is not harmful to human body, so strawberries are clean and can be safely eaten. On the other hand, if a fruit only contains 1 pesticide, although there are few kinds, the content of this pesticide is high, which is harmful to human body, and the fruit is naturally dirty.

I heard that strawberries have been rated as the dirtiest fruit for five years in a row? Nutritionist: Basically, you can buy with confidence.

Of course, we should also use specific data to speak. According to the report released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the qualified rate of agricultural products testing in China was 97.4% in 20 19. Among all agricultural products, strawberry has always been a high qualified one. In addition, some non-authoritative organizations have conducted many tests and basically concluded that most strawberries are safe to eat.

In fact, the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class told everyone that the appearance of the "dirtiest fruit list" in China was completely caused by some media authors who deliberately "messed up" and picked out one of the data to mislead readers, thus attracting your attention.

If you don't believe me, you can search the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which published this data in the United States. This report never said that strawberries are dirty from beginning to end, and the final conclusion is that the safety of agricultural products in the market is guaranteed.

However, some people may still be worried. They always think that there are so many kinds of pesticide residues on strawberries that it is terrible to think of them. In fact, this is also a good solution. A small amount of pesticide residues are basically on the surface of strawberries. As long as it is washed well and washed with clear water several times, it can be effectively removed.

Finally, I would like to remind you that strawberries bought home are generally completely ripe, because only this kind tastes good, but it is easy to go bad. So be sure to eat strawberries as soon as possible, preferably on the same day.

Don't wash it all if you can't finish it. Seal the unwashed strawberries with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator for a while.
