So you think your fruits from the high end mart are clean?

Check by filling in a bowl with water, adding 1 cup of vinegar, and stirring. Add fruit and leave to soak for 10 minutes. The water will be dirty and the fruit will be sparkly clean with no wax or dirt.

If you don't wash strawberries before eating them, you may also be eating little white insects!

Strawberries come replete with very tiny, almost microscopic insects. These insects hide around the seeds and in the white parts of the fruit. They pose no health dangers. However, if you want to get rid of these insects, cut the top, wash your strawberries well, and peel the skin lightly to get rid of the seeds and hence, the bugs.
