Many housewives simply wash greens and vegetables under water. However, such a simple act can cause poisoning.
And all because of microbes, dirt, parasites that may be contained on the surface of products. Therefore, it is so important to rinse them thoroughly.
Greens
It is worth remembering that greens "collect" nitrates. Therefore, you need to wash it very carefully and for a long time. In addition, many greens accumulate nematodes, which can be dangerous to the human body. Therefore, simple rinsing is not enough. It is best to place onions or dill in a container of cool water for 10-15 minutes.
In this case, parasites and dirt will settle to the bottom, and after soaking, the greens will need to be rinsed again.
Roots
The main problem of any root crop is E. coli. However, many housewives simply rinse them under water, disregarding safety rules.
The most correct option is to remove dirt, sand, then soak in cool water for a couple of minutes. When the main dirt settles to the bottom, you need to walk over the root crops with a brush, rinse again.
Mushrooms
Collected personally do not contain E. coli mushrooms, but if you buy a product in a store, then it is likely that the mushrooms are located near products that are infected with it. For this reason, it is recommended to put them in a solution of water and salt for a couple of minutes, and only then rinse thoroughly.
Broccoli
A lot of dirt can accumulate between the inflorescences of cabbage. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully prepare the product. To do this, the cabbage is divided into inflorescences, then put in a container of clean water for a couple of minutes.
Imported fruits
The main danger of imported fruits is their processing with wax and other substances. If they enter the body, especially a child, you can sleep with serious gastrointestinal diseases.
To avoid this, it is very important to rinse the fruit thoroughly. First, soak them in warm water for a couple of minutes, then brush over the surface with a soft brush and then rinse again.
