Is it safe to eat fruits and vegetables from a farmer's market without washing it first?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wash to be safe: It is always a safe practice to wash fruits even if it is from a farmer's market. You do not what the fruits have come in contact with. They may still have lots of bacteria on them.
