Transcript

New research uncovered a way to remove 96% of pesticide residues from fruit, all thanks to a compound that makes tea bitter. University of British Columbia researchers found that a water based combination of starch with iron and tannic acid, which again gives tea and wine the bitter astringent best, creates a thick wash that's highly effective at washing off pesticides. In fact, a concentration of the mixture at just 10 per liter of water removed 96% of three common pesticides compared to only half with water, baking soda, or starch. The study is an exciting step towards removing pesticides from our good. And if you're looking to find local farms or grow your own heirloom seeds, I built a free farm app with over 7,100 local farms and markets across the country rank carry over a 190 seed varieties on my website at myhealth4.com, which you can also find at the link in my bio. And I'll be including free seeds with all orders made this week.
