Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scrubbing fruits and vegetables in soapy water can remove pesticides that may be present on the surface of the produce. Cooking the food may reduce some pesticide residues, but not all types of pesticides are affected by heat. Eating more fresh foods than processed foods can help reduce overall pesticide exposure, but does not specifically address the issue of pesticides in food. Using imported food whenever possible is not necessarily a solution, as pesticide regulations may be different in other countries or pesticides may have been used in transit or storage.
