It was a mistake to remove the thigh first! How to wash strawberries to avoid agricultural medicine?

Winter is the season for strawberry production in Taiwan. Strawberry pink powder was very popular. It was sour and sweet and delicious, and rich in vitamin C, delicacies, leaf acid and other nutrients. Therefore, no matter whether you eat it directly or use it in various desserts, strawberries are particularly mouth-watering. However, the agricultural medicine problem of strawberries has also made many people worried. It is confirmed that strawberries can be seen on the list in the border inspection or local smoking test results. In 2019, the Agricultural Committee's Drug and Drug Center found that fruits and vegetables smoking medicines were tested and killed, and fruits ranked first with a 14% unqualified rate of strawberries. The U.S. consumer group has also listed strawberries as one of the top 12 dirty fruits for many years. Although strawberries are weak and difficult to wash, as long as you choose and clean them carefully, strawberries can still be eaten with deliciousness and peace of mind, and enjoy the cute strawberries with confidence.

Why are strawberry-based agricultural medicines prone to overstand?

The reason why strawberries are prone to overstand the standard of agriculture is actually related to the natural conditions of strawberries:

. Compared with other berries such as blueberries, strawberries are tender and thin and easily invaded by bacteria and other diseases.

. Strawberries are fragrant and delicious. Not only do humans love to eat them, but they also want to eat them, birds, and snails.

. Strawberries are fragile and tender, so they are not resistant to collisions when transporting.

. Strawberries are continuous crops, so they are not easy to manage during the drug suspension period.

. Strawberries are not resistant to stockings, so you must eat them while they are fresh, so there is little time to completely deteriorate the systemic agricultural medicine.

How to wash strawberries

Strawberries are indeed difficult to wash. The skin is tender and cannot be brushed vigorously, and the surface has uneven sesame seeds (this is the real fruit part). Therefore, the following steps are the best way to clean strawberries well:

1. Wash in running water

Do not remove the pedicle (the part of green leaves) first, wash the strawberries with the whole pedicle under the head of the dragon to remove most of the agricultural medicines by brushing.

2. Soak

Soak the strawberries with the stems in a pot for 20-30 minutes, and keep the water moving or change the water several times more.

3. Remove the pedicle

and remove the pedicle of the strawberry before eating it in the end, and avoid eating the stalk. Remove the pedicle first, causing the strawberries to absorb the outside agricultural medicine when soaking. This is the same as not cutting the green cauliflower first when washing.

4. Keep fresh and fresh

Remember that strawberries are prone to rot, so eat and wash them to keep fresh and fresh.

5. Select high-quality strawberries

Choose trustworthy strawberries If you have certifications such as walking or having an ordinary seal, you can feel more at ease, and it is not easy to have agricultural medicines.

6. No need to use additives

Many people are too worried about strawberry agriculture, so when cleaning, add various additives, such as salt, sauerk, vinegar, flour, and cleansers. In fact, those are not necessary. Not only may not be washed cleaner, but they may also make some agricultural medicines harder to wash, easier to retain, or bring other risks.

Nutrition of superberry

Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and phytochemicals, which makes strawberries have good antioxidant properties. According to the 20-year study conducted by Harvard University on women aged 70 and older, eating blueberries at least once a week or at least twice a week can extend the delay time of aging by aged up to two and a half years. In Shukit-Harl's study, older men and women who ate a cup of fresh blueberry every day showed better results in learning and memory tests than those who received comfort. Continuous research shows that strawberries and raspberries may also have similar benefits. In fact, all berries have good functions, so some people regard berry as a super food with special nutritional density among fruits. If you want to fully obtain the health effects of berry and avoid the risks left by a single berry, you might as well eat berry wheels, such as blueberries, strawberries, and cranberry wheels, which can fully absorb nutrients and minimize risks.

However, some experts believe that strawberries are not actually berry, because the strawberry pulp we eat is actually grown from flower cubes. The real fruit of strawberries is actually a small point on the surface that looks like sesame seeds. However, this should not change the nutritional value that strawberries have, and let us love strawberries.
