How to wash fruits and vegetables to remove pesticides?

Studies suggest that the fruits and vegetables we consume are contaminated. Consuming contaminated fruits and vegetables can be harmful.

Pesticides are directly sprayed on fruits and vegetables, making the harmful for direct consumption. Pollution also plays an important role in contaminating our fruits and vegetables. Pollution leads to acid rain that contaminates the fruits and vegetable directly. They also contaminate the soil that the plants grow with harmful chemicals. Upon consumption, the harmful contaminants can cause a number of serious health risks. Below listed are a few of them.

1) Diarrhoea
2) Cancer
3) Muscle cramps
4) Loss of memory
5) Diabetes
6) Reproductive system failure

The water that is made available to the general public by government regulation isn't safe to drink. It is not safe to cook with, bathe in, or wash fruits and vegetables with. The water that we receive from the municipal corporation contains a number of harmful contaminants like chemicals, rust, pesticides, insecticides and salts of metals like arsenic, fluoride, iron, calcium, etc.

This water is not capable of removing pesticides and other harmful chemicals from the surface of fruits and vegetables.

In recent years, increasing attention has been centred on the protection of fruits and vegetables from harmful chemicals, and in particular on the innovative steps to eliminate harmful contaminants from fruits, vegetables, and meat.

The process of cleansing our food has long been practiced. The traditional technology utilizes water with a sanitizing material to clean fruits and vegetables. Chlorine is the most generally used sanitizing material in the market; however, it has limited results in eliminating bacteria on fruit and vegetable surfaces. An option that always comes handy is that of boiling water and the placing the fruits and vegetables in it, but this method too has its own limitations.

The ultimate solution to this grave problem is the vegetable and fruit purifier. These devices use the revolutionary ozone disinfection technology. Ozone is a powerful antimicrobial agent that is appropriate for application in food in the gaseous and liquid states, it is also very safe to use. Ozone disinfection technology produces highly reactive Ozone gas that successfully oxidizes traces of pesticides, insecticides, and other harmful chemicals, hence, making fruits and vegetable good enough for human consumption.

The most important factor about these devices is that it is easy to use and hassle free too. Simply put the vegetables, fruits or meat in a bowl filled with water & drop the Ozone tube into the bowl. Set the automatic timer to 15 minutes or 30 minutes as per requirement and let the Ozone gas do its job. After ozonisation, all you have to do is wash the fruits, vegetables, and meat with pure water.


Kent’s fruit and veggie wash use the much-acclaimed revolutionary ozone disinfection technology to get the job done. What gives them an upper hand is the fact that they are CE certified.
