Brilio.net - There are many types of fruit for daily consumption, one of many people's favorites is grapes. Grapes have a delicious combination of sweet and sour taste on the tongue. On the other hand, the water content of this fruit also tends to be high, so it is very refreshing, especially if eaten when the grapes have just come out of the refrigerator.
However, after buying grapes on the market, you should not consume them straight away without washing them thoroughly. The reason is, grape cultivation is usually done by applying pesticides so that the fruit is not attacked by pests. On the other hand, grape plants can also create a natural layer of wax around their fruit as a form of protection from pests or disease.
If you eat grapes that still have a layer of wax and pesticides, the risk could be dangerous for your health. This was also explained by netizens using the Instagram account @tasty_bites192 via an upload.
