I love strawberries, so do my children. We will DIY waffles home, top it up with ice cream and diced strawberries. However, strawberry top the list in the Dirty Dozen by EWG Shopper’s Guide to Pesticide in Produce. This is the list of produce with the most pesticide residues.
https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty_dozen_list.php…
EWG’s analysis of tests by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that nearly 70 percent of samples of 48 types of conventional produce were contaminated with residues of one or more pesticides. USDA researchers found a total of 178 different pesticides and pesticide breakdown products on the thousands of produce samples they analyzed. The pesticide residues remained on fruits and vegetables even after they were washed and, in some cases, peeled.
I definitely do not want my family and myself to consume these harmful pesticides when eating strawberries and other produces. For young children and elderly, low levels of pesticides can be harmful. We need to take steps to lower their exposure to pesticides. For my family, this comes in the form of Young Living Thieves Fruits and Veggie Soak.
Young Living Thieves Fruits and Veggies Soak is a naturally derived plant based formula that is non-toxic and gentle. It safely and effectively washes produces with the cleansing power of three exclusive essential oil blends – DiGize, Thieves & Purification. When combined with other naturally derived ingredients, our fruits and vegetables are easily cleaned without affecting their taste.
How to use:
