Many friends who like to eat apples will find that there is a layer of wax on the surface of some apples, which cannot be washed clean even if they wash hard. So even though they know that the apple peel is rich in nutrients, they can only peel it off. In fact, the wax on the surface of the apple can be removed. If you don’t know about this, you can learn from me how to remove the wax from apples. How to remove wax from apples1. Use salt to remove wax from apples The wax on the surface of apples can be divided into several types. The one that can be removed with edible salt is edible wax, also called preservative wax, which is extracted from some shell substances. Applying it on the surface of apples can increase its shelf life. When you want to remove it, you can wash it with hot water, take a handful of salt, apply it directly on the surface of the apple, rub it vigorously for a while and then wash it off with clean water, you will find that the wax has been removed. 2. Natural fruit wax on the surface of apples There is a layer of natural fruit wax on the surface of apples. This wax does not need to be removed. It is a natural lipid component that protects the surface of apples. It can reduce the invasion of pesticides and some toxic substances into the apple flesh. This natural wax is edible. 3. Industrial wax on apple surface In the fruit market, some apples are coated with industrial wax to make them look good. This industrial wax contains a lot of heavy metals and a variety of toxic substances, which can directly penetrate into the apple flesh. It is very harmful to people's health after eating it. It cannot be washed off by any method. The best way is not to eat apples with industrial wax. To identify whether there is industrial wax on the surface of the apple, you can wipe the surface directly with a napkin. If red substance appears on the paper, it means that there is industrial wax on the surface of the apple. |
