- Hey guys, what's goin' on,
welcome back to the Wild Foods channel,
with Jamie, and Marcy.
Were we are obsessed with ingredients,
and the stories behind them.
- And today we're going to be doing
an awesome video for you guys,
we're going to show you how to remove
that nasty, pesticide ridden, wax
that's on all of your
fruits and vegetables.
(upbeat music)
- So before we get into it,
please be sure to like our video,
and subscribe to our channel.
(chiming)
We have tons of really cool content,
coming for ya'll,
and we post almost everyday,
recipes, ingredients,
and more fun stuff, so be
sure to come hang out with us.
And now we're going to tell
you guys, three reasons,
why you should be washing your veggies.
And number one, being for a healthy brain.
Pesticides are considered neurotoxin's,
which absolutely affect
mammals and humans.
Studies have also shown,
that it can increase the risk
of Parkinson's Disease,
so that is a huge, huge, red flag.
- The second reason, is to
reduce the risk of cancer.
Glyphosate is one of the most
commonly used pesticides,
and in twenty fifteen,
The International Agency
on Research for Cancer,
showed that glyphosate, is
probably a risk for cancer.
- Some of the mostly known weed killers,
are brands like Round Up,
and Clean Up, and Weed off,
stay away from these.
I walked into Home Depot the other day,
and saw them like front and center,
and those are literally so toxic to us.
People are filling their whole gardens,
and plants with these chemicals.
- If the International
Agency on Research for Cancer
is saying that glyphosate
is a probable cause
of cancer, why are we still using it?
We should really, really work to stop.
- And when you're using
it, you're being exposed
to the fumes, your ingesting the fumes,
it's all just toxic.
- So the third reason, is to
protect your children's health.
In 2012, the American
Academy of Pediatrics
warned that early life
exposure, to pesticides,
increases the likelihood that your child
will develop pediatric cancers,
developmental problems,
cognitive problems, and
behavioral problems.
- So, it is known that
75-80% of pesticides
are actually removed with water.
- So that's what we're
gonna show you guys,
two different methods, to wash
your vegetables, and fruit.
So, I'm gonna show you
guys the first method,
which is using a saltwater wash.
And, this method is actually best
for fruits and vegetables
like apples, or squash,
not berries, because berries
can get too saturated
with the saltwater.
So, what you'll do is
two teaspoons of salt,
in four cups of water.
(upbeat music)
(clanking)
I'm just gonna, shake it up a little bit.
And then, simply pour it,
into your bowl of fruit.
And, you're gonna wanna let that soak
for about 30 to 60 minutes.
Now, Jamie's gonna show
you method number two.
- Okay, so now we are gonna
do four cups of water, again,
this is for the blueberries.
So, four cups in, and then
the only difference here
is we're not gonna use salt,
we're gonna do one cup of white vinegar.
(water pouring)
And we're gonna let this bad boy soak up.
And you wanna let that
sit for 30 to 60 minutes.
(running water)
And then,
when you guys are done,
just wash it off with water,
to get all the residue off,
and you'll be ready to go!
Nice and delicious, ready to consume.
