Yes, many pesticides can be washed off fruits and vegetables, but the effectiveness of washing depends on the type of pesticide and the method used. Rinsing produce under running water for at least 20 seconds can help remove surface residues. Using a scrub brush for firmer produce can further reduce pesticide levels. However, some pesticides may penetrate the skin, making complete removal difficult, so buying organic or thoroughly sourcing produce can be beneficial.
