Date: May 23, 2007 01:01AM I just recently read that all raw fruits and veggies have some amount of mold in them which feeds Candida.
I also read you should soak them in grapefruit seed extract prior to eating because of this..hmm. Well, that is a pain the ass because I like to just munch on those things raw & organic and sometimes even forget to rinse them altogether (I know -bad!). How big of a concern is this and should I be worried?  Re: Mold in vegetables and fruits..

Date: May 23, 2007 01:13AM This is not a concern. If a fruit or veggie has mold on it, I will cut out the moldy or spoiled part, and eat the rest if it tastes OK. If it has fermented, it goes in the compost.
The products of fermentation are not healthful and should be avoided. Re: Mold in vegetables and fruits..

Date: May 23, 2007 01:35AM Is grapefruit seed extract the same as the vegetable wash I get at my local health food store? It's called Healthy Harvest? This store employes Nutritionists, Doctors and very knowledgable people. I trust anything they carry but I'm open for suggestions. Thx! -J- Joan Re: Mold in vegetables and fruits..

Date: May 25, 2007 05:54AM An opportunity!! I've been wanting to post this to the group for a while.
I remember reading something a couple of years ago regarding moldy fruits. It was on Frederic Patenaude's website. One of his articles. He said that when a fruit is even a little bit moldy, it's no good anymore!! He wrote that it's not ok to just cut that part out and eat the rest. According to him, it's not food anymore. I've never felt comfortable throwing out a whole papaya just because it has a few moldy spots. At least in Thailand, most papayas do get mold even before they're ripe.

Date: May 25, 2007 05:59AM One more thing, regarding washing vegetables. Know of anything that will remove agricultural chemicals?
I learned that soaking produce in a tub of water (many liters, but I don't know just how many) a tablespoon of baking soda for 20 minutes removes at least 90% of the agricultural chemicals. Real real hard for me to believe, especially from something like a watermelon! I haven't found the source of this information but I continue to search for something regarding this. I contacted Arm & Hammer but they didn't give me a specific response.
