I'll bet the only time Julie isn't shoving food in her face, is when
she's writing about shoving food in her face.

Unfortunately, this includes some of my favorites. Of course, it also
is not a surprise to me.

Not surprising really - how else can they produce all that fruit with
good looks?

Another news article also listed the least-contaminated produce, although
I don't see how you could sub one for the other. Cabbage doesn't make
a good replacement for strawberries.

Glaced cabbage with cruciferous ice cream.
Maybe people will start to believe me when I tell them that there is
no such thing as organic food. I grow cabbage, all those at market
are treated with pesticides, mine are not treated with pesticides but
they are laced with worm/insect holes. Those holes don't hurt
anything, they only prove my produce is safe to eat, if it doesn't
hurt the creepy crawlies it won't hurt you.

The only thing worse than finding a worm in your apple is finding half a
worm.

I love my organic veggie garden and orchard, and those of my friends
as well Apples, pears and quinces are in abundance here ATM.
Tomorrow I plan to cook some mutton with quince (normally I use
venison), and mum plans to make a pear crumble for desert.

So, if my fresh Strawberries harbor the highest concentration of
residual pesticides, what do I do...soak them in the kitchen sink in a
hot water Dawn Detergent bath?

Only about 7% of the strawberries tested had higher levels of residual
pesticides than is permissible under U.S. law.

Wash them as normal and eat them. If you're paranoid, there are
produce washes, or you can make your own:

We usually soak strawberries in acidulated water to retard mold. A
squirt of Realemon (our only use for it as we prefer actual lemons
for culinary purposes) over the strawberries (in a bowl), then cold
water to cover. Drain and store. We find that putting a paper towel
in the bottom of the storage container absorbs excess water.

Thanks for the tip Cindy! I will start cleaning my Strawberries in
this fashion.
