Should dried fruits be washed before consumption: the answer to the burning question has been found
Some of the dried fruits you buy must be rinsed under water, while others can be eaten without washing. How to act in a specific situation depends on the manufacturer.
So, if you bought dried apricots or prunes in bulk, that is, right in front of you they were generously poured with a spatula from a large bag, you cannot do without “disinfection”.
To be sure that the dried fruits are cleared of sand, dust and other debris, pour them into a wide container, pour boiling water over them and let them sit.
Then you should throw the treat into a sieve and rinse it with boiled water. This will help remove small specks from the folds.
It is also worth washing dried fruits placed in cheap trays and wrapped in film - although they were not packaged in front of you, most likely this happened right in the warehouse.
But factory-made goods inspire more confidence.
As a rule, the label, among all other data, also contains information on whether the fruit has been steamed or not, whether it needs to be washed before being “tasted”, or whether this procedure would be unnecessary.
Well, we can give a clear answer regarding dried fruits that are sold in packaged and sealed packaging.
Since this product is a snack, it is completely ready to eat, like bread or sausage, for example – you don’t wash these products, do you?
