BY Mamie Doris 2020-05-10Vegetables washed with hot water will indeed be cleaner, because as the temperature increases, the decomposition of carbamate insecticides accelerates, so some vegetables and fruits that are difficult to handle by other methods can be heated to remove some pesticides, such as celery , Beans, green peppers, etc. The method is to first clean the surface dirt with clean water, put it in boiling water and remove it for 2-5 minutes. According to experiments, this method can remove more than 50%-90% of pesticide residues. But this will also cause the loss of vegetable nutrition.5
