Why YSK this is that some of the soap absorbs into the fruit, especially berries, and let’s say you are washing your cherries with dish soap, and you eat them. That story ends with a long bathroom trip as soap makes you a little queasy. ETA: Nobody has heard about this?! I see it in the southeast where I live.

    Actually, and in opposition to the post, if I’m going to use citrus peel in stuff, I do wash it with a little soap. Many pesticides are wax based and won’t come off with water. Soap and scrubbing is way more likely to get them off.

    Berries though? Yecch.
