Chinese Oranges
Chinese oranges are a type of fruit that is quite popular with everyone. This fruit is quite common and the price is very cheap. However, Chinese oranges always rank at the top of the list of fruits that are sprayed with the most pesticides.
Typically, every 3 days, farmers have to spray pesticides once. When consumers buy them, even if they soak and wash them thoroughly with a solution, they can only limit the amount of toxins. Furthermore, in order to keep the oranges fresh for a long time, preservatives are often added, so eating a lot of these oranges can harm your health. Therefore, it is advisable to limit consumption to protect your health.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers are a nutritious food rich in vitamins, but just like beans, cucumbers always have to “live” with various stimulants and pesticides to increase productivity. Farmers often spray pesticides continuously, even on the day before harvest. In fact, some people get poisoned after carefully soaking and washing cucumbers with various solutions. In addition, when you eat cucumbers, you need to soak them in salt water to reduce the amount of chemicals contained in them.
Bean Sprouts
Normally, bean sprouts are a vegetable that is rich in nutrients, delicious, and favored by many people. In reality, if this vegetable is made in the traditional way, which is by soaking and fermenting, it is very clean.
However, now those who make bean sprouts need some stimulant drugs, urea, to make them grow better and have higher productivity, so it will be toxic to eat bean sprouts. Consumers should only buy bean sprouts that are not treated with chemicals.
You can recognize bean sprouts that are not treated with chemicals by observing whether they are plump, pale white, and long… If they are, it is certain that they have been soaked in chemical substances, whereas bean sprouts without chemicals are short and have a non-white color.
In particular, bean sprouts are a type of fruit that needs to be well protected in order to avoid pest and disease attacks. Therefore, almost every type of vegetable nowadays is treated with plant protection agents and growth stimulants. However, the above 3 types of vegetables are particularly “dangerous” and consumers need to be cautious and limit consumption.
Therefore, housewives should choose safe products in the appropriate season and avoid eating off-season fruits to protect their health.
