I think Refeik is a guy. Not that it matters...Maybe a girl. He/she said that for 38 years they worked resurfacing highways and roads.

Seriously though - if the existence of the glue bothers you so much, just wash the fruit as if it didn't have the glue on it (don't scrub so hard, peaches are delicate, sheesh). And then grab a vegetable peeler and peel the offending square millimeter off.

For me the stickers are very important...
The codes that start with the number 9 mean they are grown organically. The codes that start with a number 4 are sprayed with toxic pesticide. |

If they start with a 9, it means they are organic - and might be sprayed with insecticides that have been approved for organic farming. It also means that the farm upwind of them MIGHT have sprayed, and some of those toxins MIGHT be on the organic farmer's fruits anyway. But the organic farm didn't use any non-approved insecticides. If they don't start with a 9, it means they have not gotten organic certification. They might - or might not - be using any toxic insecticides, or they might be using the insecticides approved for organic farming. The ONLY thing it means, is that they don't have the organic certification itself. |

Gently peel off before getting them wet. If stickers get wet the backing can not be removed without damaging the skin

Most of us are in our dotage, and have made it this far eating a lot worse than todays pesticides, let alone other peoples hands touching the fruit.
I have survived the good old days of DDT with everything, and many years of military cooking, which I may add should make any immune system totally impervious to any bug todays soft fruit can throw at you! I am with the 'just eat it brigade.' |
