Do you wash your grapes?

Question

Whenever I eat grapes I always run water over them before, but I notice that doing that dosen't really get all of the insecticides off because I can wipe them on a napkin and get this brown residue. How can I get all of it off? Is the insectiside stuff on the grapes bad for you?

Answer 1

Well the place where you bought them couldn't leave something on the grapes if it was potentially harmful to you, and if they did then you could take them to court. I always wash off fruit before I eat it, and I have never developed an illness do to consuming insecticides.

Answer 2
