Do you wash your Organic Fruit and Veggies?

[AnopsStudier]

Ive asked this question before i think but thought Id ask it again.

Do you wash your fruit and veggies if they are organic?

I get mine all from the local farmers market that uses no pesticides.
My tap water smells like a swimming pool and its full of chlorine.
Should i be washing them in it or maybe spring water, distilled water....etc?

Or stick with what Ive been doing and.... not washing them

No and if your going to wash definitely dont use tap water

I only wash stuff that can be gritty, like greens. On something like celery, you can just wipe the dirt away with your fingers.

what about say organic fruit from whole foods?

nobody washes it off in case of pesticides?

Sometimes I wash and sometimes I don't. It kind of varies by my mood, the type of fruit or vegetable, if it comes with dirt on it, and if I'm fairly sure it's organic or if I have doubts.

Sometimes what I'll do is leave a bucket of water sit for a few days to evaporate the chlorine, so I can wash non-organic greens before juicing them. I suppose I could also wash and then dry them. Or I could just get a filter for the chlorine.

If you're bathing in chlorine filled water (like I am), then you're already getting a pretty large dose. A few drops on your apple are not gonna kill you.

But if you're worried about it, you can do one of the things I said above (let water sit to evaporate chlorine, or wash and dry, or get a water filter)

Eh, I meant showering, not bathing. Bathing would be worse I suppose.
