00:00This is why you need to peel your fruits.
00:02A new study reveals that washing might not be enough to remove harmful pesticides from your fruits.
00:06Researchers have developed a high-tech method called surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, or SIRS,
00:11to detect even the tiniest pesticide residues.
00:13This technique uses metal nanoparticles to amplify signals from these chemicals.
00:17In tests, researchers sprayed apples with pesticides, then washed them.
00:21But guess what? SIRS still detected pesticides on the washed apples.
00:24This suggests that to truly protect your health, you may need to peel your fruits.
00:28SIRS technology isn't just limited to apples.
00:30It's also been used on cucumbers, shrimp, chili powder, and even rice.
00:33So, while washing your produce is a good start, it might not be enough.
00:36Next time you're prepping your fruits and veggies, consider giving them a peel to stay safe from those sneaky pesticides.
