Introduction: Apples are the most commonly eaten fruit in our daily lives, especially for ladies who are keen on losing weight, who might eat more apples than meals. But don't forget that fruits these days are often "adulterated" with pesticides, ripening agents, and so on. What was intended to be a healthy food choice can have the opposite effect. Some might say that peeling the apple is the solution, but health-conscious individuals would not want to waste the nutritious apple peel, so it all comes down to our skill in "washing" them! Now, let me share some tips on how to wash apples:
To learn more delicious ways to eat apples, we recommend the daily special feature: Apples - More Than Just Apples
Tip One: After wetting the apple with water, sprinkle a little salt on its surface. Then, hold the apple with both hands and gently rub it back and forth. The surface dirt will be cleaned off quickly. Rinse it with water afterward, and it's ready to be eaten safely. Experts explain that the principle behind this method is the granular nature of salt, which increases friction, and salt itself is very clean.
Tip Two: Prepare a small basin with some starch and then wash the apples with it. This method is also suitable for washing pears and grapes, and it prevents the fruit's surface from discoloring. This is especially useful for washing grapes, as they are difficult to clean, and scrubbing them too hard can damage their original state.
Tip Three: Applying toothpaste to the apple's surface as a cleaning agent is also a very effective method. Washing apples with hot water is another good way, as it easily removes preservatives and other substances from the apple's skin.
