Did you know that regardless of the type (long-grain, round-grain, brown unpolished, white polished, basmati...) rice should be washed three or more times before cooking. This is not due to the presence of possible dust or other contamination on cereals, but in starch, which is located on the surface of grains. After a single wash of rice, the starch in the cereal softens and contributes to the adhesion of the grains, so the porridge will be quite viscous in consistency. But well-washed rice will look great - a grain to a grain. The same should be done with wheat. My wheat from 3-4 times to clear water, for more crumbness of the finished dish.

There are many crevices and nooks in which bacteria can hide. Therefore, first of all, they must be immersed for two minutes in a bowl of cold water. Then the cabbage should be thoroughly washed under running cold and hot water.

My mother saw me throw vegetables from factory bags into my child’s soup, not by weight (broccoli, beans, cauliflower separately frozen) straight out of the bag. I gave a lecture about washing vegetables from the freeze. Since it is not known how clean hands they were cut and put in these bags, not to mention frozen vegetables, which are sold by weight. So any frozen vegetables before cooking should be transferred to a badge and pour boiling water.

A package or bottle of milk, drinking yogurt on the supermarket shelf in any form is available for the hands of other buyers who go through the containers in search of a production date or a suitable package. Further, the containers are rolled on the tape at the cash register, the purity of which is also far from ideal. And as soon as you open the bag or bottle, the bacteria's entrance from the surface is free, so it's best to thoroughly rinse the package before opening.

Green salad and grapes should be washed under running water. Then you should lower them for 3-5 minutes in a protective solution of water and hydrogen peroxide (tablespoon per liter of water). Soaking in this solution even in such a short period of time will help get rid of dangerous bacteria. Then the salad or grapes should be thoroughly washed and dried.

Remember: always wash nuts, even peeled ones! Because we can't know exactly where they were stored or what they were transported in. In addition, treating them with water will help get rid of phytic acid, which is contained in raw nuts.

But here it will be said that washing is not always necessary. You don’t need to wash raw fish unless you’re going to eat it like that. During heat treatment, all bacteria in the fillet will be destroyed, but during washing, they can move to any surface in the kitchen. Please note that after cutting the fish, it is necessary to wash your hands, cutting board and knife well.

Apples (especially at the base) can accumulate bacteria and dirt. Try after thorough washing under running cold and hot water, cut off the bases of the cutting from apples. Thus, you can protect your body from dangerous microbes. In addition, various studies have shown that if you leave fruits in water with the addition of baking soda for 10 minutes, even pesticides will be cleaned from their surface, which means that such apples will be completely safe.
