Do you like tangerines? Why not, it is a tasty fruit with lot of vitamins. We bet that while consuming you are making an essential mistake that could cause you serious health problems. Specialists warn that you should not consume them without doing one essential thing. What is it?
You all make this mistake
It is important to wash the tangerine’s peel before eating! Why? It is simple. Tangerines don’t come from near places, they are usually transported from Spain or Portugal. They are transported in trucks that don’t really care about cleanliness. Tangerines can get in touch with dirty areas or even mould. However that is not all – tangerines are sprayed with natural resin or plant wax to survive the long road. That is why the fruits are usually so shiny and beautiful, even when they were picked up weeks ago. Sometimes these substanes may cause an allergic reaction. This kind of reaction can be quite serious and unpleasant.
Dedicate a few more minutes
Maybe you are now saying that it isn’t important what is on the peel when you remove it and eat the sweet inside that is all the time hidden from all the dirt and spray. But that is not so true. Just with manipulating with the tangerine, you get in touch with the dangerous substances that can be present on the peel. At least, the skin on your palms is threatened by allergic reaction but also these substances can get inside of your body just by contact with the peel. The only thing left to do is to put a piece of tangerine to your mouth with those dirty hands and you might be in trouble.
So when you want to enjoy these tasty fruits, dedicate a few minutes to washing them with water before consuming. It only takes a few minutes but can save you from very serious health complications.
