Remove fruits from wax
Who would like to eat wax? How to liberate fruits from wax:
As you can see in the picture, I did a test. I briefly sprinkled an apple with hot water to dissolve the wax layer and then let it dry. Where the water was not enough, a wax layer line is clearly visible.
It would be best if you buy organic apples, but not always you have the opportunity to do so and cost a little more. Therefore, it is best to clean fruit with the following means:
- 1 cup of lukewarm water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
The ingredients are mixed and filled into a spray bottle, so you splash the fruit off and after 5 minutes you can wash it off normally with water. Most of the wax should be gone now. Of course, you can easily eat it without hesitation, but who does not want that, can cope with it. Not only apples have this wax layer, also u. a. Plums.
Fruits usually produce a wax layer themselves, which protects them from drying out and from insects. Unfortunately, not every apple variety produces a natural layer of wax, and then artificially helps. Although this is banned in Germany, but as we all know, may all be imported to Germany, and so it may well be that we buy fruit with artificial wax. Info: Bioware may NOT be waxed even abroad.
