Ok. Two things: 1) that’s not residue in the water, they’re called achenes and they are the true fruit of strawberries. 2) bacteria and more importantly fungus will grow back onto the surface of the fruit almost immediately because they’re in the air. The real reason to wash produce is to remove pesticides and any wax that are added to help preservation during transport

I learned more from the comments than the actual video.

This guy is the perfect example of speaking incorrectly with confidence.

As a farmers market vendor do not wash your fruit until you are ready to consume them. I’ve worked for the farm for 6 years and the business has been going for 29. We tell our customers exactly not to wash their fruits until they’re ready to consume and they always tell us that we’ve helped them make their fruit last longer. Also a tip we tell them is to put them in a tuber ware container and place paper towels over the fruits to make them last slightly longer. So do with this information as you will

Raspberries definitely go bad faster if you wash them and store them. Don't rinse Raspberries until your ready to eat them. Save your vinegar and your time lol

Anything sounds amazing when it’s said confidently

You should do a side-by-side comparison of two packages of strawberries that you bought the same day one where you leave it in the fridge and one where you disinfect the fruit and see just how much longer it lasts and make a video out of it.

Once in a while Bobby goes “a little over the top”…Not often, but sometimes…And this is one of those times.

Don’t wash your berries until you are ready to eat them or cook with them. Washing the berries bruises them and any extra water on berries will cause them to spoil faster. Blueberries have their own built-in protection via a waxy outer coating called a bloom, and raspberries are extremely delicate and susceptible to mold and bacteria from too much moisture and from bruising. With strawberries keep those little, frilly green calyxes and stems on your fresh strawberries when storing in the refrigerator. Having the calyxes and stems intact will protect the interior of your berries and prolong their shelf life. All berries stay their freshest when dry and cold, and any added moisture will soften the strawberries and encourage mold growth. So instead of washing all of your berries right when you get home from the store, wash them as you plan to eat or prepare them.

I have never heard someone say wrong things, consecutively, all at once for an entire conversation.

Not just that, who doesn’t love a hint of vinegar on their strawberries?

This is next level paranoia when it comes to cleaning food

When I get home from the grocery, first thing I do.. is order a pizza…. 😊

I just put them all in a bowl with ice cream and shorten the whole process dramatically.

Hey there pal?!! Whatever you think you cleaned off those berries is what's keeping me and mines healthy!!!

My mother was an avid gardener, we never washed anything until we were going to use or eat it. The one exception would be soaking greens in cold salted water to kill any possible worms or bugs on it. She always swore if made the fruit spoil faster if washed it first.

This guys immune system can't handle going out to check the mail.

Don't rinse until you intend on eating. No matter how much you try to dry them after a dunk, they will still be wet, especially the inside of raspberries. Wet berries will be ruined berries in no time at all.

I don't give a crap about normal microorganisms, I care about the pesticides, so I always wash the fruit under the tap before I eat it - it's the best I can do.

I subscribed to this channel. Took under 2 weeks, i became so paranoid about all the things this guy talks about. I realized he isnt living. Hes over the top. I feel for his family in a sense. Im more sensible now but i cant lose my mind over it.

Strawberries have a natural anti fungal chemical on them. Wash just prior to eating. All those little particles in the bowl are strawberry seeds.

Welcome to the internet where as long as you have a 4k camera and a microphone, you know exactly what you’re talking about.

Microbes on produce are literally where our micro biome comes from.

Don't wash your berries unless you are about to eat it. You will never get them dry enough to not starting to rot right away

Comment section to the rescue to help enlighten my gullible ass

you never wanna wash berries if you’re not gonna eat them right away

Water is perfectly fine. Hell sometimes I don't even rise it and I'm still here😂

been eating berries for 40+ years w/o ever doing this and I am still alive & healthy.

Used to pick a ton of warm strawberries on sunny summer days & eat them straight from the plant as a child. Nothing tastes better, especially not refrigerated or frozen.

Dudes talking like berries last more than an hour in a house with kids 😂✌️

Bros got the world's weakest immune system 💀

There is literally no reason to do this if you don't have any type of immune compromisation. Just give it a quick rinse and you will be fine

As soon as you come home from grocery shopping, eat the delicious fruit. That way it can’t go bad. 😇

I can't imagine being able to afford this many fresh berries in one week's groceries

Damn, he getting roasted 😂

Blueberry farmer here. Nothing wrong with washing your berries but fresh berries will keep for 3 weeks easily. However by the time you get them they are probably 2 weeks old if bought out of the USA. The waxy haze you see on blueberries is there to protect them from the sun and drying out. The more of it you see on the fruit the less handled they were during processing. Most importantly for shelf life make sure they are dry before the fridge. And if freezing I would freeze them unwashed so they don’t stick together. Wash when you pull out of the freezer and it will help thaw them.

Worked at 3 4 diamond kitchens over a 26 year period .Chefs ONLY WASHED fruit just pror to use . Otherwise the will immediately start forming mold. I worked with hundreds of chefs,not one washed and then stored fruit .

He sounds like a Canadian serial killer.

you know things like bacteria are essential to your everyday health

My secret is immediately start eating the blueberries when I get home from store and then half way through realize I should probably rinse them off, so i do and then eat the rest of the blueberries.

dude's immune system understands what it feels like to be jobless and have no work experience

God forbid we develop an immune system.

I use baking soda for all my berries. The trick is to make sure they’re completely dry and lined with paper towels before going back into the fridge. Also make sure you soak them long enough I use vinegar instead of baking soda for my grapes and cherries. The soda makes them too soft afterwards. I know many people say only wash what you’re going to eat but that doesn’t work for people like me with ADHD I do all my fruit as soon as I come home It removes all the pesticides

Bro had the immune system of a toddler

Ive been eating these fruits with just rinsing them and I'm 60 yrs old. They won't kill you.

How to further weaken your immune system 101

That bacteria makes your immune system stronger.

My guy, let the immune system take of such puny microbes and bacteria...😂

Ah yes, the “I don’t need a functional immune system and all bacteria are bad” diet.

"honey, I think the fruits went bad. they taste like vinegar" 😅

Really like your shirt! 🌮

I always just either immediately make smoothies from fresh bought berries or freeze them. Never have treated them in anyway before using them.

I usually just let them sit in the fridge until they go bad then toss them out. Wow thanks Bobby!

Could you imagine actually doing that every time you bought berries

I actually just read studies that vinegar does nothing but baking soda in water is the absolute best way to wash fruit and veggies.

I am 68:: I have only rinsed my fruit with water. If I had to go thru this vinegar, soaking and rinsing process I would never buy fruit. I am not dead yet! I guess I’ll start now so I can live to 85!

My 4 kids make shelf life a non-issue.

That little bottle of vinegar is like $20 bucks. 4x the cost of the berries😂

Cool, now I have acidic strawberries.

Just a note you never wash your berries until youre ready to use them. Do not wash them before you freeze.

You know what I do right after getting home from the grocery store? I eat about half of the fruit that I just bought. I finish off the other half the next day. The fruit never gets soggy!

Bro still thinks that vinegar actually cleans bacteria from the fruit 🤓

Get a berry keeper. It's like a little plastic colander inside of a plastic dish with a lid on it. You rinse them off and dump them straight into those and it is like a miniature crisper and also gives the space for the water to get away from them

When i was a kid i liked to eat strawbarrys straight from ground, natural grown , i washed them with my t-shirt. I miss those times.....

Ngl im not worried about extending the shelf life of my berries 😂 they dont get that chance

I appreciate all the info and now i must investigate soley out of curiosity lol

I just open the packet and eat. Im alive and well. Been doing it my whole life.

I always wash my berries in the dishwasher and adding a few drops of mercury to them is an absolute pro tip. The berries will stay fresh much longer than you think, or breathe.

This is the sort of thing you do to pass the time when you have a finance job and don't have to work for a living.

If I wanted vinegar on my fruit I’d toss them into a salad.

Least educated video I’ve seen in a long time.

As a child, grandpa and I walked through the garden and he would pull a radish then shake it against his overalls then hand it to me...yummy! He and I would walk through the veggies and berries and my little tummy would be full by the time we were done!❤❤❤

My immune system is unlike any other when you grew up with unwashed fruit

Thanks first of all, I appreciate a level headed approach to all you do. I have found that if I just rinse the fruit and dry a little, it lasts pretty well. Sometimes the raspberries will get a little soggy but they are still tasty.

I bookmarked this for our "Dumbest produce clip of the year" contest at Giant Corporate. Never, ever, ever do this.

Crazy that we were never able to eat berries safely before this

Oh, yes, that’s what I really want. Vinegar flavour, raspberries

I rinse fruit off right before I eat it. Raspberries get a gentler rinse.

You may have extended the shelf life but you killed the microbes. SMH. We need those microbes.

Dude, my berries dont even make it 2 days. I devour them otw home from store.

Best Tip: don’t buy more than you need just because they are on sale.

I didn't believe this, but i started doing it just to see if it would work, and it really does. After they are completely dry, i store them in the fridge in an airtight container, and they do last longer. I left half unwashed in the original container, and the washed ones lasted longer.

I put my berries right away in a jar without washing and close with a lid. I had wild blueberries last 3 months (not on purposes, but it was a nice surprise). Wash them when you need to use them. I discovered this last year and still can't believe how magic this technique is.

You don't need to worry about this unless it takes you a week to eat 2oz of berries. Just wash it with water, you'll be fine 👍

Wash berries just before you eat them. They last longer if dry, and mold less. Do not cover them in the fridge or they will mold. Place in fridge where air moves freely over them. The hard plastic boxes they come in keep them fresh longest prior to washing. Strawberries are often the first to go bad (bigger, denser box).

The human race already survived without this trick.

The fact that he called it “residue” confirms that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s doing something, but has no clue what it is.

Video: (keep playing) Me: Reading the comments when when the video is playing.

I've never ever had berries go bad in my kitchen. They are consumed too quickly.

I do this every time now and the fruit lasts longer . I don't care why, it works beautifully. I also wash the containers the same way , dry and put a paper towel in container then put the dried berries in them.

I like this. Its best to get the fruits ready to eat as soon as possible.

I’m so weak!! My dumb ass was looking at his shirt saying Tacos. I’m thinking he was getting ready to make them 😂😂😂..

Never wet your raspberries until you're ready to eat them.

Nothing I love more than fear mongering

bacteria is acidic, as you may have seen recently, people use baking powder because it is very alkaline and it elevates the ph of the fruits or berries, basically eliminating the bacteria.

I have rinsed my fruit and berries with vinegar or baking soda. It does seem to help them last longer. But I put them in a container after rinse and throw a paper towel in with them and close the lid n put in frig. As kids, we picked wild berries off the bush. No rinse, no hand washing, and we never got sick😊

I boil my hand sanitizer, as well.

He’s not making tacos, but he is wearing his taco shirt

Clean, yes, but the best part is they last longer. Less wasted food.

Bro's living his life, like he got 1 HP left.
