Why I Wash Fruit Before Eating It

Last time, I was surprised by how a single sentence about washing fruit turned into a full-blown debate. Some people think washing bananas or oranges is pointless – but hear me out.

That fruit has been handled by a LOT of hands. Bacteria, pesticides, rodent droppings (yep, that too) – all can hitch a ride. A quick rinse can help avoid stomach regrets later.

It’s not paranoia. It’s 10 seconds for peace of mind.
