Pour Hot Water on an Apple—What Happens Next Might Surprise You!
Apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world, loved for their crisp texture, natural sweetness, and health benefits. But have you ever wondered what’s really on the surface of your apples? If you pour hot water over one, you might be shocked by what you see!
This simple test reveals how many chemicals, wax coatings, and pesticides may be lingering on your store-bought apples—and why it’s important to clean your fruit properly before eating it.
Why Are Apples Coated in Wax?
Many apples sold in grocery stores are coated with a thin layer of edible wax to:
✔ Improve shelf life – Prevents moisture loss and keeps apples from shriveling.
✔ Enhance appearance – Gives apples a shiny, appealing look.
✔ Protect against bruising – Reduces damage during transportation.
While this wax is considered safe to eat, it can trap pesticides and dirt on the surface of the apple, making proper washing essential.
