Generally, a 30-second rinse followed by a 15-minute soak, and a final rinse will help to get rid of pesticide residue on vegetables.
The vegetables should also be soaked in a clean bowl as the sink might contain bacteria.
TIP: Scrub root vegetables such as carrot and potatoes before rinsing and soaking to remove dirt or residue from their surface.
