Eating vegetables does provide a very positive effect for the body and health in general. However, the problem of E. coli bacteria becomes the main enemy to obtain all the benefits of this type of food.
A recent study in Food Science & Nutrition found, rinsing or soaking leafy vegetables in water does not mean reducing the amount of E. coli bacteria. Another study from the University of Georgia found that products that can indeed be washed even less effective than water rinsing E. coli.
The research became bad news. Fortunately there is still good news that it is highly unlikely to meet E. coli in fresh produce.
"We see occasional outbreaks, but the risk of getting sick from consuming products is very, very low," said Linda Harris, Head of the Department of Food Safety and Research at the University of California, Davis, quoted by Time, Tuesday (8/5) .
Although the bacteria can not be lost by washing Harris said, there is a compelling reason to clean the product to be consumed. Therefore, the product is sold in the open so that it could just dirt.
"If there is dirt, just remove the dirt from fresh vegetables.How to rinse, rub, and dry the food.
