My sense is, this is *very* hard to do--It so often seems to be IN the fruit, as if it were resin in wood. (which actually it may be, when you reflect on it--and with all the "food science" out there, well...)in fact, I finished a lenghthy Water Fast and was pining for a delicious organic apple; and after gently washing it just to be very correct, it too had a feeling of 'wax' on it--sticky: and what's worse: it started to simply 'melt' as if it were in a fire. Looked like a forror movie makeup scene. Bizarre, I know! (it was a "gingergold", btw)
I contacted the company that was cavalier, and then indignant that I was suggesting (or asking)about their growing and spraying practises.

I even ownders, generously, whether there might be some border practise that had tainted the fruit...

They finally admitted they sprayed a calcium formula on the fruit after it was picked (??),(which I read later was something you do when the fruit is too acidic, and tests "low-brix"(<<< this is a whole 'nother rabbit hole)
which made no sense, when you consider it--After?--and then the spokesperson assured me this is 'allowed' under organic growing practises. sigh. shudder...


I think it's often better to peel--but this is sad, and 'against nature'...

I long to grow my own food.

PS--I have washed in a pesticide wash, to not much effect, and then got the sense the "wash" is really mainly a rip-off money-maker.(i might be wrong, but I have my doubts)

Now I wash in plain dish soap, or maybe in hydrogen peroxide-- try to buy organic, and use my inituition a lot, which most often tests NO for anything in the marketplace, esp. the fruit that sits for ages and never changes.

:-(Still, thank God, anm does not live by "bread" alone.)
