3. Immerse the vegetables in this bicarbonated water.
4. Rub the vegetables vigorously with your hands without damaging them.
5. Let them soak quietly for 5 min.
6. Rinse them with clear water.
There you go, this simple little gesture can significantly reduce the amount of pesticides on the skin of vegetables :-)
No more eating pesticides at every meal! Of course, it also works for fruits.
