How to clean fruits: Nowadays, every food item available in the market is being adulterated. It cannot be said what will cause a person to become ill after eating. Similar is the condition of fruits available in the market. Many types of harmful chemicals are used to grow, propagate and cook them quickly. A dangerous poisonous chemical is applied on fruits, which is called formalin. It is very harmful for the body. In such a situation, before eating the fruits brought from the market, know the way to clean them properly.
Many types of seasonal fruits become available in the cold season. Some fruit sellers apply many types of harmful poisonous chemicals on these fruits and sell them. Among these, formalin is also a deadly chemical, which can cause serious harm to the body.
Shopkeepers do this for their own benefits. They keep selling the fruits to the customers by telling them that they are good, fresh, nutritious and formalin free fruits. When you go to buy fruits, you cannot easily understand how much harm these fruits can cause to your body. Formalin keeps fruits looking fresh for a long time.
You can remove formalin from fruits to a great extent. According to Dr. Neena Mampilly, Senior Pathologist and Oncopathology specialist, Kozhikode, it is very important to include fruits in the daily diet. These contain many nutritious elements, but it is very important to wash them properly before eating, because they may contain a poisonous chemical called formalin.

According to a research, soaking fruits or vegetables in a mixture of vinegar and water for 15 minutes can remove almost 100% of the formalin. If you don’t have vinegar, you can soak the fruits in lightly salted water for 10 minutes before eating them. This also removes the formalin to a great extent.
Formalin is added not only in fruits but also in many food items like vegetables and fish. By soaking fish in clean water for about 1 hour, the amount of formalin reduces by about 61%. Research also shows that by keeping formalin mixed fish in salt water for 1 hour continuously, the amount of formalin reduces by about 90%.
