The dirtiest food is this, women must have eaten it

Food is our appetite. We rely on food to fill our stomachs and maintain our health. So do you know which food we often eat is the dirtiest?

Revealing the Dirtiest Food

1. Chili

67% of the pepper samples contained detectable pesticide residues, even after being washed or peeled.

2. Cherry tomatoes

Thirteen different pesticides were detected in one cherry tomato sample.

3. Potatoes

Compared with other food crops, the weight of pesticide residues in potatoes is significantly higher.

4. Bell pepper

Like grapes, one sample of bell peppers contained residues of 15 different pesticides.

5. Spinach

Spinach is one of the vegetables most contaminated by pesticide residues.

6. Peach

Peaches contain more pesticides. The EWG emphasized in the report: Pesticides are obviously toxic. They are used to kill living pests, weeds, fungi, etc. that are detrimental to the growth of crops. It is safest to eat it with the skin peeled.

7. Celery

Thirteen different pesticides were detected in one celery sample.

8. Grapes

Fifteen types of pesticide residues can be detected in one grape sample. Grapes topped the list when it came to the types of pesticides they contained, with a total of 64 different chemicals.

9. Strawberries

Strawberry rose from fifth place in the 2013 ranking to second place in 2014.

The correct washing method is: do not remove the leaves of the strawberries, soak them in water for fifteen minutes, so that most of the pesticides can be dissolved with the water; then remove the leaves of the strawberries, soak them in salt water for five minutes, then rinse with clean water, and you can eat them. Try to avoid rubbing them with your hands, and there is no need to use detergent.

10. Apple

Apples have been ranked first on the list of the dirtiest fruits and vegetables for many years in a row. This year's tests found that 99% of apple samples contained at least one pesticide residue, and the total amount of residue was the highest. It is best to peel the apples before eating them.
