Some of the chemicals used to treat citrus fruits can cause watery eyes and skin problems, experts told the Telegraph. The reason for this is the dangerous chemicals with which they color the fruit.
These dangerous substances can penetrate into the fruit itself, says Sergei Ivanov, a biologist at the Institute of Food Biology. Dyeing chemicals can also be toxic to fungi and molds.
Citrus fruits are treated with dyes to preserve and preserve their freshness and durability longer. Once these fruits are processed, there is a certain period in which their consumption is prohibited.
The term depends entirely on the type of chemical with which the fruit has been treated. The responsibility for complying with this period lies entirely with the producers.
The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency commented that the use of paints is regulated by law. However, it is mandatory for producers to indicate the ingredients with which they have treated the fruit on their labels.
According to the Food Act, it is obligatory for the paints still used to be harmless and allowed for use on the territory of the European Union.
If you want to be absolutely sure that the colors in the fruit will not harm you, wash them before consuming them. Dyeing chemicals are easily removed with warm water, and after peeling oranges, tangerines, lemons or grapefruits, wash them under running water for a few minutes.
Do the same with lemon and orange peels if you use them for cakes. Also, do not overdo the amount of crusts, as the chemical used in them can be dangerous.
After washing the fruit, wash your hands well with warm soapy water, as there may also be traces of paint on your fingers.
Some experts also advise dipping the fruit in a bowl of warm water and vinegar before eating.
