Poop on Your Produce?

Wash all produce! Just because you don’t eat the peel from a cantaloupe, avocado, or grapefruit, when you cut the skin some contaminants follow the knife and then contaminate the meat of the fruit. Manure is one of the most commonly used fertilizers.

This tip is especially advisable for pregnant women, children, senior citizens, or anyone who does not want poop on their produce.
