Wash that strawberry !
A friend sent me this link on washing strawberry's with 'soap'. At first, I was kind of skeptical. After watching the short video....I was asking my self..." how many of 'those' have you eaten in a life time ? "
Good grief...I normally just rinse them under running water.

I'd like to clarify my last comment...I think it's funny to see people's reaction, to the idea of eating bugs.
I don't want anyone to think, I'm making fun 'of' or 'about' the Kosher laws of my Jewish friends !

Good point TC.... I read that the strawberry was the worst for absorbing/ not being able to wash off the pesticides.
I originally made the post, just to get a rise out of people....lol Not that I'm into eating bugs.
If only people actually knew, how much food manufactures are allowed to have 'stuff' in their food products like...bug parts, mice/rat hair and....I'll stop there.
Which is worse ? After biting an apple...seeing half a worm -or- an empty worm hole ? LOL

Naw, a certain amount of bugs and dirt are necessary for a healthy immune system. I'd be more worried about the pesticides that wouldn't wash off well even with strong soap.

MOM ! TC is eating bugs again !....lol.
I was thinking the same thing TC. Maybe they figure the soap makes them lose their grip, and fall off the strawberry....?

Ya know, I think I'll just keep rinsing them and eating them. I mean, is a dead washed bug any better for you than one that was only rinsed off?
