Cleaning strawberries should include the following four steps:
1. First, rinse the strawberry with running water for several minutes to remove most of the germs, pesticides and other pollutants on the surface. Note: do not soak in water, so as to avoid the pesticide dissolved in water and then absorbed by strawberry, and penetrate into the fruit;
2. Soak strawberries in rice washing water (the first rice washing water should be used) and light salt water (a basin of water with half spoon salt) for 3 minutes. Their functions are different. Alkaline rice washing water can decompose pesticides; light salt water can float insects and eggs attached to the surface of strawberries, which is easy to be washed away by water and has certain disinfection effect.
