What about washing?

Washing will not change the rank of these fruits and vegetables.
However, our family uses NutriBiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) to wash our fruits and veggies!
About 8 to 12 drops in a big bowl is all you need! Nearly all the data used to create these lists comes from the
USDA Pesticide Data Program where the foods are prepared for consumption before they’re tested for
pesticides (apples are washed and cored, bananas peeled, etc.).

While washing fresh produce may help reduce pesticide residues, it clearly does not eliminate them. Some
pesticides are absorbed into the plant, are in the fruit, and cannot be cleaned off.

Another good reason to
EAT ORGANIC!
