      Seriously, you need to wash any fruit or vegetable that you don’t peel first or you’ll be eating pesticides

        Carrots often are covered in feces (manure) and the very ugly bacteria that comes with that. No joke.

          And if it’s exposed in a bin in a grocery store it’s been handled by some dude who took a shit and didnt wash his hands almost definitely.

          Or feces from the hands of the underpaid workers with no access to toilet facilities, who picked the produce.

      I’d recommend washing berries with a mix of water and vinegar. They last much longer. Often the punnets have air holes or rinshign holes already so you can just submerge the fruit without unpacking and let it air dry after removal.
