You might want to give that punnet of strawberries a good wash before you tuck in - or better still, go organic. Strawberries contain more pesticide residue of any other produce, according to the US 2016 Environmental Working Group's (EWG)

That is scary. I never wash. strawberries.

I always wash my strawberries, glad I do after reading this.

i read a long time ago to soak fruit in a little vinegar and enough water to cover fruit for about 5 mins then rinse in clear water. so i have been doing that for a long time cannot taste vinegar
