Preparation & Safety
How to wash and prepare peaches
Because peaches 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 peaches varies by market
| Market | Load Score | Samples Tested | Detection Rate | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | 80 | 2,291 | 97.8% | ✓ Solid (2291) |
| UK | 76 | 44 | 90.9% | ✓ Solid (44) |
| IT | 76 | 672 | 83.3% | ✓ Solid (672) |
| ES | 100 | 28 | 42.9% | ⚠️ Sparse (28) |
⚠️ 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.
