Pete Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 If I'm in the kitchen and preparing then yes. Blueberries on the breakfast get washed. Strawberries on deserts do to. Apples or fruit for a snack I don't usually bother with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I didn't until I found out on soft fruit there's normally loads of little insects on it. Yuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 most fruit and veg in supermarkets has been processed and washed anyway, when was the last time you saw mud on any veg in a supermarket?? but that process contains a lot of manual handling and for that reason I do wash all fruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 My parents owned a farm had a large horiculture business, so I know a little about this subject. You really must wash all fruit and veg before eating or using in cooking. Although most will have had a quick spray with clean water prior to packaging, insecticide and chemical residue will remain in relatively high percentages on the surface (not to mention dirt from the air, soil, bird sh*t and anything else they get in contact with - including some the dirty hands of some filthy packager). This is especially so for things like lettuce, strawberries, grapes and apples. Beware if it's from Spain or "third world" countries, though the UK has extremely strict rules on the sprays and insecticides that can be used, this is not the case for MOST other countries. Spain has some of the worse controls in the western world for chemical usage. When it comes to fruit and veg, British is the safest and cleanest to eat.
