Pesticides and wax

[Sporadica]

Ok so alot of fruits and vegetables have wax on them and pesticides on them too. I'm wondering that when I buy stuff from the grocery store how could I remove wax and pesticides and other stuff relatively easily?

sometimes it's enough to wash them in the cold water for a while and then for a moment in the hot water.
there are some Chinese dishwashing liquids that are made for washing fruit and vegetables too. you can try to find them.

Just give your fruit and veg a good wash before you start to prepair it for cooking or eating. I fail to see why they spend the money on waxing foods, its just an extra expense and I am yet to find someone who does not buy a item of fruit or veg because it is not shiny

yea, washing them with water (kinda rub them with your hands) should be enough. Wax is perfectly save to eat (thats what candy corn is made of) so that isnt an issue. But yea, always wash of your fruit and dry it before eating

[handle with care]

you can rinse them off thats about it
