The 10 dirtiest fruits and vegetables in daily life, the first one is actually...

apple

Apples have been ranked first on the list of the dirtiest fruits and vegetables for many years in a row. This year's tests found that 99% of apple samples contained at least one pesticide residue, and the total amount of residue was the highest. It is best to peel the apples before eating them.

strawberry

It rose from 5th place in the 2013 ranking to 2nd place in 2014.

The correct washing method is: do not remove the leaves of the strawberries, soak them in water for fifteen minutes, so that most of the pesticides can be dissolved with the water; then remove the leaves of the strawberries, soak them in salt water for five minutes, then rinse with clean water, and you can eat them. Try to avoid rubbing them with your hands, and there is no need to use detergent.
