How to reduce the harm of pesticide residues?

Pesticide residues refer to the phenomenon that some pesticides directly or indirectly remain in grains, vegetables, fruits, livestock products, aquatic products, soil and water after pesticide application in agricultural production. How should we reduce the harm of pesticide residues in daily life?

soaking

You can soak your vegetables for a few minutes before rinsing them. Or you can soak vegetables in soda water, which neutralizes pesticide toxicity. Do not use ordinary detergent to clean fruits and vegetables. The chemical components contained in the detergent itself are easy to remain on fruits and vegetables, which is harmful to human health. The best way is to use a professional Lankang oxygen machine for cleaning, the effective removal rate of 98%.

brine

Washing vegetables with 5% salt water can reduce the harm of pesticide residues.

peeling

Vegetables such as cucumbers and eggplants generally use more pesticides. These vegetables and fruits can be peeled directly before eating.

high temperature heating

High temperatures can also decompose pesticides. Some heat-resistant vegetables, such as cauliflower, beans, celery, etc., washed and then boiled for a few minutes, can reduce the amount of pesticides by 30%, and then cooked at high temperature, you can remove 90% of pesticides.

sun exposure

Sunlight can decompose and destroy some pesticides in vegetables. According to the determination, vegetables in sunlight for 5 minutes, organic chlorine, organic mercury and other pesticide residues can be reduced by about 60%.

Rice washing water soaking

In real life, rice washing water is relatively common, and the effect of removing pesticide residues is also good. The rice washing water is weakly alkaline, which can neutralize pesticide ingredients and weaken the efficacy; the starch contained in the rice washing water also has strong viscosity. Therefore, soaking and washing vegetables with rice washing water is simple and convenient, easy to implement and effective.
