How to wash vegetables clean yet retain their nutrients
-
I also just wash it with tap water leh, dun use anything else. If got worms, that means the veg is very fresh and not much pesticide mah, if got a lot of pesticide, you wouldn't find worms, coz nature know best! Haha...
-
Another thing, dun soak veg for too long, coz nutrients will leak.

15 minutes should be fine? -
Wah, so long…I would think 5-10 mins is enough?
Actually, I’m not worried about the worms thing, but more worried about pesticide. Wanted to choose organic veg over normal veg, but it’s quite a hassle to buy. And if dun cook, very wasted to throw away. -
No I dun, that's why I said quite a hassle to buy... :lol:
But I think these farms have weekly delivery kind of stuff, but u have to buy in bulk, about 1 week supply. -
Then I rather not…coz those in NTUC are not organic, even though they said it’s organic.

Just curious, why do you say NTUC's organic is not organic? Is there a difference? -
The term organic is used loosely in many markets. But to be really sure of whether the product is organic, there must be some kind of label. By not adding pesticide doesn't mean the product is organic, it just means the vegs is pesticide free.
Other than pesticide-free, the product must be grown in an open land, dunno how many km (cant remember off hand) away from the heavy industry and no aeroplane can fly by the open land. Of course cannot use hormone to grow also. And also, they must adhere to the child labour law.
I think those that are sold in normal supermarkets are not organic, some of them are not even pesticide free. Some uses water hydroponic method to grow and they claimed they are organic.
That's why I dun buy 'organic vegs' from ntuc.

Speaking of organic, have any of you watched Food, Inc? It's really an eye opener for me. :yikes:
