Grapes - Do you wash them before eating?

Spinning off from the Tomato Sauce thread.

Who washes their grapes before OM NOM NOMING them?

Personally I give them a good rinse before eating.

yup. just incase there are pesticides on them, infact i wash any fruit that hasn't got a skin that has to be taken off banana style.

Wouldn't it work better if you ran the bag under the tap?

that seems very counter-productive

Yeah, it may just be my mind playing tricks on me but I always find they taste kind of "dusty" before being washed.

Yep, wash all fruit/veg.

No. Considering all the harmful rubbish we breathe in each day then a little bit of stray pesticide never killed anyone!

I always wash fruit that doesn't need to be peeled.

Mobius 1 · 27 Jul 2009 at 11:21

Nah, pesticides help my immune system.

Just you wait when someone tries to poison the world with pesticide!!! I'll be immune!

IMMUNE!!!!!!!!!

They wouldn't and couldn't sell them to you if they weren't edible without consequence straight away.

JRY · 27 Jul 2009 at 11:22

yup, I put them in a bowl and wash them under the tap

antijoke · 27 Jul 2009 at 11:23

My missus is in charge of this, and she washes before hand. She almost had a fit yesterday when I gave our two boys some before washing them.
