Which 12 kinds of fruits and vegetables have more pesticide residues in cherries, strawberries and peppers on the list?
Fruits and vegetables contain food fiber, and parents want children to eat more. The United States has organized a list of 12 fruits and vegetables with the largest number of pesticide residues, most of which are favorite foods for children. Parents remember to wash the ingredients thoroughly!
Fruits and vegetables will be sprayed with pesticides during the planting process, and there is still a chance of pesticide residues even after cleaning. The American Environmental work Organization (Environmental Working Group, EWG) tests pesticide residues in common fruit and vegetable samples every year. The sample has been thoroughly cleaned before testing and has been peeled where applicable. It was found that pesticide residues were detected in the fruits and vegetables often eaten by many Hong Kong families even after washing. The "most poisonous" was strawberries, and the popular "super food" kale also made it into the top three.
