There is undoubtedly a long journey between fruit and our table, during which the fruit has to deal with a wide variety of contaminants.

Therefore, if you do not want to get poisoned by fruits, follow certain rules before eating them.

Don't follow those people who simply wash fruits thoroughly (or not so thoroughly) under running water.

According to general practitioner Nadezhda Chernyshova, such cleansing will clearly not be enough.

Instead, place the fruit in a colander, which in turn should be placed in a deep saucepan or bowl filled with cold water and left there for 20-30 minutes.

However, adding antiseptics or detergents to the water is not recommended.

It is believed that the time spent in water is enough for the dirt to come off the fruit.

Finally, rinse the fruit again with cool water, then wait until the liquid drains and you can bite into the delicious fruit.
