PESTICIDE CLEANING OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

There are lots of local fruits and vegetables coming to your market these days. Unfortunately, local doesn't mean organic, and many of these lovely local delights may still have been sprayed with pesticides. Once a pesticide has been sprayed on a fruit or vegetable, it penetrates the skin of the food and begins to make its way into the flesh; but a good pesticide wash is, at least, a start. Organic is still best.
Grapefruit Seed Extract can be found in health food stores.
Enjoy.
