Vegetables and fruits should be washed before consumption. And it does not matter what form they are in - fresh or dried.
It's one thing to wash dried apples or dried apricots, but it's a completely different matter to wash raisins. No housewife washes each berry separately. Usually they just rinse them in water several times.
We will tell you how to wash raisins correctly so that no dirt or dust remains on them.
In fact, the usual rinsing of a handful of dried fruits in several waters is not a solution to the problem.
You can only wash away a light layer of dust, but the main dirt will remain and enter the body.
Experienced housewives do it this way.
First, soak it
Raisins should be placed in any suitable container and filled with cool water. The dried fruits should remain in this form for 15 minutes. Periodically, the preparation should be stirred.
Secondly, wash
You need to drain the water and thoroughly rinse the dried fruits in running water.
Thirdly, scald
Only after this does it make sense to pour boiling water over raisins, dried apricots or other fruits.
By the way, if during the initial soaking process an oily film appears on the surface of the water, there is nothing to worry about.
These are the remains of glycerin in which dried fruits were processed.
