You must cleanse your fruit before consuming I was listening to a podcast about fruits and parasites. These top fruits had increased risk for parasites. It shocked me as I grow at least two of these fruits on my property.
These fruits— grapes, strawberries, mulberries, cherries and contain a significant number of parasites What you are consuming may not just be fruit pulp Grapes are rick in vitamins and amino acids They are closely packed together to the gaps bewteen them are breeding ground for a number of parasites. One such bug is the scale bug which pierces the skin of a grape. So wash throughly
Strawberries contain numerous insect eggs. When these ripen, they emit a certain scent to attract insect to lay eggs on them The most common are the aphids, white flies and nematodes When washing strawberries always soak in saltwater first to kill the insects. I found this terrifying as I pick my strawberries right from the garden and consume
Do you pop a cherry in your mouth without thinking about parasites I know I do Of at least ten cherries at least one contains maggots The parasite inside is the larvae of the cherry fruit fly I have learned to soak my cherries in saltwater . Then there is the mulberries which I also pick straight from my mulberry tree These are sour, sweet and very juicy These are closely packed together and can be a host of parasites
So wash your fruits in salt water and kill the parasites Check before buying in a store and before consuming
Until tomorrow…
