Vegetables can be eaten a few days after the drug

Vegetables are prone to the invasion of diseases and insect pests in the planting process, which are usually eliminated by spraying pesticides. So, how many days can I eat vegetables after taking medicine?

How many days can I eat vegetables after taking medicine?

The key depends on what kind of pesticide is hit. If it is highly efficient and low toxic, it can be eaten after 7-10 days; if it is moderately toxic, it can be eaten after 15 days; and vegetables sprayed with high and high residues of pesticides can not be eaten for how long. Such as: methamidophos, parathion (1605), methamidophos (3911), carbofuran (carbofuran), monocrotophos, methyl isosalidophos, methomyl, BHC, trichlorfon and so on.

Second, how to wash vegetables to be safe?

Pesticide residues usually attached to vegetable leaves evaporate in five days to a week, but for safety, it is best to soak in detergent for 10-15 minutes or in clean water for 30-60 minutes. But do not soak for too long, lest the surface pesticides enter the water and return to the inside of fruits and vegetables.

With the continuous progress of cultivation technology, the growing period of vegetables has become shorter and shorter, and with the aggravation of environmental pollution, the diseases and insect pests of vegetables are becoming more and more serious. Most vegetables need to be put on the market many times in a row before they can mature.

There are leafy vegetables with heavy pesticide pollution, among which leek and rape are the most polluted. Eggplant fruit vegetables such as green peppers, tomatoes, tender pods vegetables such as beans, bulb vegetables such as onions, garlic, onions, pesticide pollution is relatively small, but some are relatively large.

Finally, the editor reminds everyone: try to buy fruits and vegetables in the formal market with health supervision, and the product packaging with one of the four signs of "quality and safety", "pollution-free products", "green food" and "organic food" is relatively speaking, safer and more reliable.
