Preparation & Safety
How to wash and prepare cranberries
Because cranberries has higher surface permeability, synthetic pesticides easily adhere to the skin. To reduce exposure by up to 80–90%, soak in a 1% baking soda water solution (1 tsp baking soda per 2 cups cold water) for 12 to 15 minutes, then rinse vigorously under running water.
Market Comparison
How cranberries varies by market
| Market | Load Score | Samples Tested | Detection Rate | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | 50 | 783 | 53.5% | ✓ Solid (783) |
| DE | 16 | 4 | 25% | ⚠️ Sparse (4) |
| IT | 4 | 1 | 0% | ⚠️ Sparse (1) |
| ES | 57 | 32 | 68.8% | ✓ Solid (32) |
⚠️ Data Note: Markets marked with Sparse have under 30 official laboratory samples in the public record. A 0% detection in sparse tests does not guarantee absolute absence of residue in that region.
