A member asked:
Is it bad to eat organic vegetables with mud on? scrubbed off carrot with hand as no brush got most of mud off. will i be exposed to more pesticides?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Organic means: no pesticides used. A brush is a much better choice when cleaning vegetables. Toxins can get in the skin/surface of the fruit or vegetable. Use reasonable caution and don't obsess. Peace and good health.
