I eat fresh fruit such as apples at work. I sometimes wash them in water but I often wonder if they have pesticides on them.
I know that a good washing in water probably gets 90% of undesirables, but I'm lazy, and tend to wash for only 10 seconds.
This one I have here is called Nature Clean. Its ingredients are: water, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (food grade cleanser from palm oil), carboxyl methyl cellulose (celluslose gum), with hazel (natural astringent), citric acid, potassium sorbate.
Do these fruit/veggie wash products have any basis in fact?
