Preparation & Safety
How to wash and prepare raspberries
Because raspberries 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 raspberries varies by market
| Market | Load Score | Samples Tested | Detection Rate | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | 39 | 652 | 70.7% | ✓ Solid (652) |
| UK | 57 | 97 | 57.7% | ✓ Solid (97) |
