Some berries do not need to be washed at all, if only for complacency, told agronomist Sputnik radio, fruit grower Elizaveta Tikhonova. For example, she said it’s not necessary to wash raspberries..

Although thoroughly washing the gifts of nature is generally the right habit, this does not apply to such delicate berries as strawberries and raspberries, the agronomist said.. Tikhonova explained that imported berries (say, from Turkey) are treated with weak antibiotic solutions.

“These are weak solutions, there is nothing to fear. There is a treatment not only for diseases of the strawberries themselves, but also for diseases that can be caused by the hands that collected it. In addition, as soon as the berry enters the mouth, it is disinfected with saliva, then disinfected in the stomach containing hydrochloric acid with a terrible pH, ”the specialist noted.

If desired, it can be washed gently with warm water, if the berry was in the refrigerator - just to warm it, Tikhonova added.

Also do not need to thoroughly wash raspberries. The agronomist said that this berry does not contain chemicals, since it is processed only in the period immediately after flowering, when there are no berries. When the berries appear, traces of processing are already decaying..

“If you take a berry for jam, there’s nothing to worry about. If for food, just rinse for your own comfort, you don’t have to do anything else, ”she said..
