Top Methods for Washing Broccoli and Ensuring It's Pesticide-Free

Begin by cutting broccoli into florets to ensure all parts are thoroughly cleaned for pesticide removal.

Rinse broccoli thoroughly under cool, running water to remove any loose dirt, bugs, or residues.

Soak the broccoli in a large bowl of water for 5-10 minutes to help loosen dirt and contaminants.

Add a solution of vinegar or lemon juice to the water to break down pesticides more effectively.

Swirl the broccoli gently in the water, allowing dirt and pesticide residues to detach from the florets.

After soaking, rinse the broccoli under running water again to wash away any remaining dirt or chemicals.

Scrub the broccoli with a vegetable brush to reach crevices in the florets where dirt may linger.

Inspect the broccoli for any visible contaminants and manually remove any dirt or pests found.
