SEVERAL PESTICIDES USED IN FARMING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE NEUROTOXIC TO HUMAN
1. SCRUBBING:- Scrubbing the produce back and forth with your hands or a brush for at least one minute helps in removing pesticide residue more than just using warm water.
2.SALT WATER :- After scrubbing and wash you may soak them in 2%of salt water for 30 to 60 minutes before cleaning under cold water this will get rid of most of the contact pesticides residues that normally appear on the surface of the vegetables and fruits.
3.VINEGAR WASH :- The best way to remove pesticides from fresh produce is to give them a vinegar wash with 50 ml white vinegar mix in half litter of water. Let the fruits and vegetables soak in the mixture for 20 minutes and then rinse it well under the water. Along with removing pesticides, vinegar wash also help in removing bacteria from the fresh produce.

Yes very informative post.. I know some of my family & friends who r farmers they confess this fact that use of insecticide & pesticides is for market purpose and good income . So many times healthy looking vegetables are full of pesticides. On other hand I am from medical fraternity, so far I have seen side effects of this in recent 5-6yrs on people
