Follow this simple method PROVEN BY SCIENCE for removing pesticide residues off of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's inexpensive, simple, easy to do, and effective! Please note that this type of soak is not appropriate for berries...they are too delicate. It works well on fruits that have a skin/peel on them, such as grapes, apples, pears, peaches, plums, and nectarines.
