How to reduce pesticides
Thoroughly wash all produce, even that which is labeled organic and that which you plan to peel.
Wash your produce under running water rather than soaking it.
Scrub firm fruits and vegetables, like melons and root vegetables.
Discard the outer layer of leafy vegetables, such as lettuce or cabbage.
Peel fruits and vegetables when possible.
Trim fat and skin from meat, poultry, and fish to minimize pesticide residue that may accumulate in the fat.
Grow your own garden or participate in a community garden.
That is how you can reduce pesticides on your food.
