Did you wash your fruit when a kid.

[T.T.]

When you were a child and picked fruit from the tree in the garden or else where did you just eat it.

We had fruit trees in the back yard but never thought of running inside to wash them just ate them.

Picked strawberries and ate them. Forget washing them

Picked apples straight for our orchard - never washed them.

Sandra and Emerald and we all survived.

Had raspberry bushes and didn't wash them when we picked a few to eat. They did get washed if a lot were picked for dessert .

Spice straight from the bushes eating them sounds good.

oh it was great

on a back lot with no one on it...i'd go and pick blackberries

we had our own raspberry bushes

i would wash the carrots that i picked from the garden and just eat it like that

the other stuff, i'm not really that sure

but mom must have

When it was homegrown, fruits & veggies weren't washed. But when we buy from the store, with all the pesticides, wax coating, & then people touching them with grubby hands, yep, we will then wash lol

Exactly!

I used to rub an apple on my shirt, thinking it would get it clean. I imagine others did the same thing.

I forgot about that Dazzal, you are right I did that too.

Same here.  We kids would pick the tomatoes and eat them right there in the yard.  LOL.

Reebee I agree definitely when we buy them from the store wash them.
