These 6 kinds of vegetables may be grown abnormally, so it’s best not to buy them

In addition to choosing seasonal vegetables, experts suggest that the following 6 kinds of vegetables are best not to buy:

Tomatoes that are too hard:

The harder the tomatoes, the more plant hormones they use. It’s best not to buy them, or don’t eat them immediately after buying them. Leave it for two or three days to extend the ripening period and wait for it to soften naturally. At this time, erythropoietin, which is harmful to health, has also been released. In addition, tomatoes that are red on the outside and green on the inside may be related to ripening agents.

Radish with a cracked heart:

It is best not to eat radishes or melons with cracked hearts. It is likely that they have been seriously infested by insects, or it may be caused by abnormal human planting processes.

Growing cucumbers:

The cucumbers I bought were left overnight and grew bigger the next day. This must have been caused by the use of hormone growth enhancers.

Too Light Leafy Greens:

Vegetables grown in greenhouses are much more beautiful and attractive than those grown under direct sunlight, and their leaves are lighter in color, but their nutritional content is certainly not comparable to that of naturally grown seasonal vegetables. So when buying leafy greens, choose dark-colored ones.

Smells strange:

Unlike vegetables such as coriander and fennel that have their own odor, vegetables with a lot of pesticide residues or that have been treated with inferior pesticides will have a very pungent odor. You can pick them up and smell them before buying.

Washed vegetables:

It is rare to see muddy radishes and lotus roots in the market now. The vendors are frank: "No one wants vegetables that are too dirty." The problem with washed vegetables is not pesticides, but bacteria, and bacteria are difficult to remove regardless of whether they are soaked in salt or blanched in water.
