Question

does simply rinsing fruit actually do anything in terms of eliminating chemicals?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

The main purpose of washing your fruit and veg isn’t to remove chemicals that may have been used during the growth of the plant.

Instead you’re washing off dirt, and any germs that may have come from the person who harvested it or touched it before it arrived in your kitchen.
