The best is to buy organic, there is no way to remove ALL of the pesticides, fungicides, and other chemicals from commercially grown fruits and veggies, as some of it is absorbed into the flesh. To remove surface pesticides, soak veggies in a bowl with hydrogen peroxide (food grade) fresh lemon juice, and water, soak for a few minutes, then rinse very well. For waxed fruits, such as apples and cucumbers, you can remove the wax with a paste of baking soda and fresh lemon juice, then rinse well. I grow most of my own organic veggies, but only recently found out there is an organic farm in my town that sells veggies. You might check to see if there is one near you. I have lived here 20 years, and had no idea they existed.

By washing all veggies and fruit with a brush and running water for 30 seconds you may remove all or most of the pesticides. Soap is not good and not recommended.

I go to my local health food store & buy this stuff called Veggie Wash. It is in spray bottle & you spray the food w/ it to remove all pesticides. It is like $4.00 a bottle & works well.

Washing them thoroughly will get rid of most of them but some will have been absorbed into the flesh and you can't get rid of them completely. If you want completely chemical-free food the only way is to buy organic or grow your own.

wash the vegetables thorougly before we cut and surely not after cuting because it loses all its vitamins and minerals present in it along with the pesticides

I doubt you could get rid of them completely. A good rinsing.

Don't eat organic foods. They are actually less healthy because of all the pestisides they use because there organic. The best you could do is rinse them with water.
