Random fact: Cucumbers from grocery are wax coated to seal in moisture.

I just found this out yesterday!? Did you guys know this, or am I the only once ignorant one?

Lots of fruits and vegetables are.

Apples, for one.

Take a knife and scape the skin of a store bought apple. Youll get a nice white waxy substance peeling off of it.

I'm not to crazy about cucumber skin (esp on Subway sandwiches), so at home I prefer to peel the skin off.

I'm pretty sure zucchini/squash have that as well.

 

[gigapet]

it must be good for you to eat.

Just buy some "FIT" when you're at the grocery store next time. It's like soap for your produce. You'll be amazed at the change in texture and taste of your fruits and vegetables afterwards. It eliminates all the wax and other residue.

Yeah..I scrub the heck out of em...probably look like I'am wacking off in the sink. But the green skin adds taste to em. So I don't want to peal the big buggers........

 

[Spooner]

it's perfectly harmless to eat

............or so they say........... :Q

 

[fonzinator]

They should fortify that wax with vitamins and minerals!!

Lots of stuff has food grade wax in it. Chocolate usually has wax in it, depending on quality (low quality - more wax)

Eating a nice, waxy gala apple right now. Yum!

Hmm... Perhaps the Fonz should go back to producing McGyver?
