@benonwine My Noritake coffee mug.... The beverage upgrades in taste to something heavenly. Even the meals served on the dinnerware, so simple but so so top notch snobbish
@buhle_matsha Energy levels will be dwindling but there is still the joy of having them.... am coping well. last night he asked me to watch a football game. I asked the right questions, I think and I didn't dose off...
Washing or cooking will not remove toxic chemical residues from vegetables.
Most pesticides enter the plant tissue. They move with the sap. You find them inside the leaves, stems, and fruits. Water only removes dirt and surface residues.
Heat does not solve it.
-Some chemicals break down slowly under heat
-Others remain stable even after cooking
-You still ingest residues after boiling or frying
This is where many farmers go wrong. They rely on washing to fix poor spray practices.
The real control starts in the field.
-Follow correct spray intervals
-Observe full withdrawal periods
-Use the right chemical for the crop
-Avoid spraying close to harvest
-Keep clear records of every application
If you harvest before the waiting period ends, no amount of washing will make that food safe.
Safe food is produced before harvest, not in the kitchen.
