Grapes - Do you wash them before eating?

That has nothing to do with washing fruit...Nor the person who picked them.

And yes if my life depended on it.

Either your being sarcastic or you missed my hillariouse reference. Well, hillariouse to me anyway.

You wouldn't steal a handbag? (How dare they presume to know me!)

I chuckled!

I sometimes wash stuff but only if it makes it back home, usually I buy it and eat it while I'm out and about. Haven't died yet because of it!

i think you're looking for the "Famous last words" thread...

Nope, just eat them.

I always wash them before eating - never know what might have dropped on them either growing, in the shop, or in my house.

you should always wash vegetables or fruits before eating them unless they come from your own garden...trust me where i come from its full vineyards and they are sprayed with pesticides almost every 2 weeks-maybe less, not to mention the dirt and pollution that falls on their skin.

i wash all fruit (and veg) before i eat them or use them in cooking.

don't really want all sorts of nasty sprays and grubby hands on them thx, and that includes mine

shauncr91 · 27 Jul 2009 at 17:56

Nope.

I dont wash them no. I buy a bag, I munch a bag.

Now i'm thinking about it, it is a little bit dirty, considering i wash everything else, why wouldnt i wash grapes too.

Jamesbcd · 27 Jul 2009 at 17:59

nah - too lazy

After a friend's work colleague died from contracting fungal meningitis from unwashed fruit, very much yes.

Yes anything that can't be peeled. Honestly not too fussed by the pesticides, more concerned about who has been touching them before they end up in my fridge. Do you honestly think the people on minimum pay packing, shipping, and stacking them in the shops care about our health when it comes to picking their noses, scratching their privates or washing their hands after a dump?

I may have to wash the grapes individually after reading that. Eww

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.

This, but not just for the reason of pesticides
