minus-squareCallMeAnAI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30arrow-down8·edit-21 day agoYeah I’m sure the 5 second rinse that everyone does really kills that bacteria. Individually soaping each leaf, massaging the crevasses 🤣 The rinse is for getting rid of rocks and dirt. The rest is theater.
minus-squareegrets@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down2·1 day agoSmall amounts of dirt are going to harbor bacteria, and a soak and rinse (and a light scrub, if it’s produce that can be scrubbed) will actually make a notable difference to the pathogen count. It’s not magic, but it’s good practice.
minus-squareCallMeAnAI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down6·1 day agoI get it, and I wash my shit if only because of literal shit. But odds are if there is an outbreak, you’re getting sick. This is nitpicky as fuck.
minus-squareSmoogs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-21 day agoWow speaking of nitpicky there is no middle ground with you. Ah sorry, reread the username. Call you anal. Got it. Fits.
minus-squarevillage604@adultswim.fanlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·edit-21 day agoAll of this is ignoring the fact that plants can absorb the harmful bacteria so washing, even with specific produce washing solution, isn’t foolproof. Of course, that vector is definitely more uncommon than shit particles on the food.
