When many people wash vegetables, they often just rinse them with clear water. But you know what? You can't wash vegetables at all. But if we put some salt in the water, the situation will be different. For example, when we wash jellyfish skin, we can first cut the jellyfish skin into silk, then put it in water, add a spoonful of salt, stir it evenly, and then rub it out by hand. After these things are done, bring salt water, inject clean water into it, and then rinse it repeatedly until the mixed sediment is removed. After this series of work is finished, we can enjoy the delicious food.

And we can also use this method when washing other vegetables. Add salt to vegetables to remove bacteria and pesticides, and then wash them repeatedly.

Second, add vinegar.

Another way to clean vegetables is to add vinegar to them. But this is limited to some special foods, such as fungus. When many people wash fungus, they often just wash it in water. But it is unscientific to wash agaric in this way.

When we wash it, we can soak it in warm water first, and then pour a little vinegar into it. The purpose of this is to disinfect the fungus well, soften the impurities and sediments accumulated on the fungus, and then we can rub it repeatedly.

After such treatment, the sediments and impurities accumulated on the fungus can be completely removed, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the food we eat.

Third, don't chop and change.

Many people also make a mistake when washing vegetables, that is, they often cut vegetables first and then wash them. They think that washing vegetables in this way can wash vegetables in all directions, but it is actually harmful to health.

First of all, because most vegetables are now grown under the "protective clothing" of pesticides, there are often more pesticides on the surface. At this time, when you cut and wash vegetables, pesticides will enter the section, thus polluting vegetables. Moreover, when we wash vegetables, the nutrients inside will flow out with the cut surface, so in this case, it is not conducive to our intake of nutrients. Therefore, in our later life, don't chop up the vegetables before washing them. Wash them all and cut them open.

Fourthly, alkaline water.

In fact, there is a good way to wash vegetables, which can also wash off the residues on vegetables. This method is to soak them in alkaline water. Because most organophosphorus pesticides will decompose quickly in alkaline environment, we can soak them in alkaline water before washing vegetables, and then wash them.

So how should alkaline water be prepared? For example, in 500 ml of water, we can add five to ten grams of edible alkali. There is no need to put a lot of edible alkali, just a little.
