@spiralofhope: Do you have any article show that edible food-grade wax doesn’t have any side effect to our human body. I am wonder about this.

First, the wax is edible food-grade wax. It is non-toxic and approved for human consumption.

Second, scraping with a knife certainly won’t get it all.

Third, washing with water or any number of other things like vinegar and lemon juice will not remove any wax.

The only solution I’ve seen so far is to get a commercial product specifically designed to remove the wax. There are a number of natural non-toxic products for this purpose.

I heard you can use baking soda, vinegar or lemon with some other stuff to wash the fruits before eating. I haven’t try it yet to know if using a knife would do a better job.

I remember my Dad showing this to me when I was a kid – I used to peel the skin of most fruits. Now I don’t. I just wash, rub dry as best I can and crunch right into it LOL… Maybe this is why I eat more fruits that need the skin to be peeled off rather than fruits that have edible skins

there is this machine called Okamizu selling in certain pharmacies. claims to get rid of pesticides, steroids injected into meat and etc. my family has been using it and i think it’s pretty okay. you can see muddy substance coming out from prawns and seafood as the ozone removes the toxins from your food.

The wax is edible but I usually remove the skin before eating. Another reason to eat local fruits instead!

🙂 I do de-wax my fruits before consumption. Normally i will soak my fruits in salt water or toothpaste water for a few mins, rub gently and wash them with water.

LyNn: washing fruits with vege soap somehow makes me paranoid too!

Nikki: yeah i usually just washed, but we nv know how thorough is thorough!

Traclyn Yeoh: wow u soaked for so long!

Lisa: scraping is the way to go!

sesame: yeah i usually just remove skin, but in this case, its awful to remove the skin esp if the fruit is soft

gio: yeah the wax is gross, i have no idea how much i have it stored in my body already
