Secondly, soaking

Some people recommend replacing scalding with soaking in hot water, which also helps remove harmful substances.

In any case, don’t be lazy and place the dried fruit in a saline solution for 20 minutes.

Nuts can be soaked in clean warm water, but only for one hour.

Third, rinsing

Rinsing will help wash away the remaining dirt. After that, dried fruits can be eaten.

As for nuts, they can be dried in an oven preheated to 60 degrees.
