In this method you have to boil water and add your food in it. Leave it for few minutes and then remove it from the warm water. This is suitable for the vegetables to cook at the high temperature but not for the fruits. This method is also used to preserve food.

  1. Cold water wash

Washing carefully your food with the cold water removes about 60- 70 % of pesticides from the food. As you notice with all the above mentioned methods, washing with the cold water at the end is compulsory.

Wash your food by following any technique but keep in mind the texture and resistance of food to get the best result. Children have more susceptibilities towards the toxic substances and you can save your family from these substances with the little care.

  1. I use a spray bottle with a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar and a couple of drops of dawn soap. Spray it on the fruit or veggies in a colander let stand 5 min and rinse well with cold water. Works great.
