Should fruits and vegetables be sanitized, if yes — How?



You must have been aware of the importance of sanitizing fruits and vegetables even prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the spread of the virus has catapulted the seriousness of sanitizing the eatables to a whole new level –a spontaneous rinse in water would have gotten the work done earlier, whereas today no amount of manual cleansing would ensure a 100% safety from contracting the virus. Are you doing enough to effectively sanitize fruits and vegetables? Moreover, what makes the practice so important?


Before reaching your shopping basket, fruits and vegetables go through nothing less than an expedition, and along their journey, they absorb dirt, chemicals, wax, pathogens, and pesticides you don’t want your child to be consuming as there is a strong probability of foodborne diseases, especially in these times of additional threat when virtually no one is completely immune to illness.


Although experts confirmed that there is no evidence of transmission of Coronavirus via food or packaged food, there would definitely be germs lurking on fruits and vegetables you’ve purchased, hence they should be sanitized properly regardless of the pandemic. Now, you must be having an array of puzzling questions about how to disinfect effectively? Right, that’s what we are here for!


Disinfecting the contents in your fruit basket via a sanitizer is not a very ideal way, you should be using it to decontaminate items made up of steel or metal, as per related researches, the deadly virus can stay alive on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables for some hours. The best to prevent the contraction of the virus through your fruit basket is to place it under the sun for a few hours and then ensure the cleansing of the same with baking soda and lukewarm water. If availability is not an issue, Potassium permanganate can also be added to the solution!
