I eat berries straight out of the punnet, no washing. Am I a savage? Maybe. But the raspberries I just ate were particularly delicious.
You'll most likely be fine. Just don't think how many people handled them before consumption.
Definitely not a savage.
It's important to wash your fruit and veg because of 2 words. Dick hands.
I think arse hands are far worse, but valid point.
Shudders
Yeah you are.
I wash raspberries...then quietly eat them one by one while they are drying so they never usually even make it to the fridge
I only wash strawberries. There's no logic involved, it's just what happens. Haven't died yet.
I dunno, washing is a good opportunity to check for needles
