Why do we wash fruits and vegetables before consumption?


Open in App
Solution

We should wash fruits and vegetables before consumption because:

  1. Vegetables and fruits which are being sold in the market are infected by various germs.
  2. These germs can not be watched by the naked eye.
  3. When these fruits and vegetables are consumed without washing,
  4. these germs and viruses enter our digestive system.
  5. As soon as they enter our body they infect our internal organs.
  6. This causes various diseases like cholera and dysentry.
  7. It causes severe infection.
  8. In extreme conditions, it might cause death too.
