I would like to eat with or without pesticides and food additives as much as possible, but here I will introduce how to wash to reduce them. When preparing, wash well, soak in water or baking soda, boil, peel, etc.
"Lettuce, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc."
In the case of headed vegetables in which the leaves are rolled one by one and become spherical, the outer leaves where pesticides tend to accumulate are discarded.
Fill a bowl with water and shake to wash the portion to be eaten .
If you soak it in water too much, the vitamins will dissolve out, so just shake it off . After shaking and washing , drain the water well.
Please note that if you do not drain the water here, you will eat the pesticides that appear there .
"Spinach, Japanese mustard spinach, etc." Leafy vegetables are also washed well by filling a bowl with water.
Also, if you cut it to about 3 cm and boil it, it will be easier for pesticides and dioxins to come out from the cut end of the vegetables. Do not boil and then cut.
Also, put baking soda water in a bowl, soak the cut spinach for about 3 seconds, shake it with running water, soak it in water again for about 5 minutes, and boil it. It is said that about 70% of pesticides and radioactive substances can be removed with this. However, it is said that most of the water-soluble vitamins are lost by this method.
"Cucumber etc."
Vinegar and salt are also effective in detoxifying pesticides.
Cucumbers, etc. in vinegar water made with a ratio of vinegar 1: water 2 should be scrubbed or salted.
"Potatoes, carrots, etc."
Root vegetables can be washed thoroughly with soil and peeled to remove pesticides that have penetrated under the epidermis.
"Bacon and sausage"
If you make a few cuts in these places and boil them quickly , food additives such as phosphates and color formers will be more likely to come out.
