Yes indeed I think every country should have one of these, but as I said above too, many fruits and veggies are grown in a similar way in countries like Canada, the US, parts of Europe and Australia, so similar ideas I imagine apply for example if apples are high in pesticide residues according to the US, they will likely be high in residues in other countries too.

I am from Canada and we do not have one of these either, but I still use this one because a) a lot of our produce comes from the US and b) because we do have similar pesticide rules, etc.

Yes I agree, I think there should be something like this made on an international scale, because today our produce does come from many countries that usually have much different rules and laws when it comes to how much and which pesticides they use.

Thanks for the link and yes, great idea to make your own.

I would imagine though that similar rules should apply to most of these fruits and veggies though in the US and Europe at least a bit. Most produce that is sweet or spoils fast will need more pesticides regardless where it is.

And it is not a coincidence that onions are last – no insect, or microorganism in their right mind wants to chomp on an onion – that is why they have such potent health qualities for us :)
