I do this to wash the strawberries and get rid of pesticides
Always wash strawberries before eating them. Don’t do it in advance! Even if you dry them very well, moisture accelerates their rotting.
That said, there are at least 3 procedures to eliminate pesticides where they are present (we can only be sure of their absence by buying organic products or growing them ourselves!), there are at least <>.
The first involves using water and salt: dissolve a teaspoon in a warm cup and let it cool completely, then soak the strawberries for two minutes and then rinse them under running water. This solution also allows you to get rid of mosquitoes and insects.
But that’s not the only way: you can also make a mixture of red wine and vinegar. Dilute one glass of water in two and let them settle for about ten minutes. The slightly alcoholic acid solution will completely prevent the presence of toxic substances.
Finally, there is also a method for washing strawberries with water and baking soda: one tablespoon is enough for every litre of water . Place the fruit in a bowl and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then rinse them one by one and remove the stem only once dry.
Remember that none of these operations are a waste of time, but an investment in your health!
