I wanted to mention that I ran some experiments to see if different homemade solutions could effectively get the wax off of produce. I wasn't satisfied with the results, so I'm testing further. If you have any tried and true tips -- leave them below! I'll share my own results soon.
Chitosan is the easiest wax. It can used as organic fungicide and repellent most bugs for fruit care treatment. For post harvest it can extend shelf life 5 days for freshly harvest mango, 9 days on Pitaya/Dragon Fruit, 18 days on snake fruit, up to 2 months on apples at room temprature
Chitosan devided in 2 types, Industrial and Food Grade. Both can be used to coat/wax our fruit. Food grade one is 2-3 times price than industrial. Usually the food grade one, applied for thin skin fruit or fruits that we use to eat the whole without peeling it skin like guava, rose apples, lemon and lime (can be extend the shelf life about up to 6 month if green harvest). Industrial chitosan used for peeled fruit like jack fruit, mangosteen, etc
TRUE FOOD TV different between true cinnamon and casia
To get off organic wax use vinegar, to get off inorganic wax use any citric acid
to remove wax in a natural non chemical way ..... squeeze a ripe lemon's juice into 1 liter of warm water and rinse the fruit you want to clean with it. the lemon is a natural oil and wax stripper without the nasty side effects of chemicals... natural vinegar will also help but vinegar leaves a slight after taste that you need to rinse again after removing the wax.
I'm more worried about my health when digesting it than how pretty and shiny it's is
This a large part of why i started to grow my own veggie and fruit
Hell yeah lashonda. Homegrown is always the best

Local organic for the world
Wish we could all do that
APEEL is a new coating with metals in it and they are using ingredients that are full of metals that do not wash off.
@@quantumreach3388 Also putting the APEEL coating onto fruit and vegetables takes away 15 percent of the nutritional value and Bill Gates makes money cause that is his patten.
I love that you get straight to the point. Unlike those other clickbait videos. Very underrated channel.
Most underrated channel and presenter on UA-cam..
Thank you!!
@baggabliss agree to disagree. 👍
baggabliss your dumb
Yes 😍
@@TrueFoodTV You're absolutely gorgeous!
Fruit wax is for long distance produce.
The best option is to buy refrigerated produce that does not need fruit wax.
Thanks for making the distinction between conventional and organic food and the processes that are involved in getting them to the grocery store. You’re awesome.
My pleasure!

We're now fortunate enough in the UK to get unwaxed lemons, limes and oranges at most decently sized supermarkets, so i'll typically go for them. I have no regular farmer's markets around here so I sorta rely on my local stores. I know in some countries it would be strange to use wax, but we just can't grow citrus properly anywhere here, so it has to be imported.
Fruit in the uk is crap now taste less
The only safety is in growing your own food💯
The only one?
But the fruits and vegetables create chemicals on their own in order to prevent bugs from eating them, how is growing them on your own going to prevent this?
Yesenia Robles organic vs manmade 🤷♂️

Mary Jane it’s all makeup though. 😂. I trolled her profile after your comment to see.
She is the best presenter on UA-cam channel... I follow true food just because of Nicole Jolly ... Keep up with work ..
i watched this video and felt motivated....my friends saw this video and felt motivated....my neighbours saw this and were motivated...we rent a projector in a big field and my village people saw this and felt motivated....thank you so much for this video. may god bless you. Thanks
Sweet Vuvuzela what kind of village do you live in? I'm curious!
So long story short you have to wash them before you eat them raw.
yeah, but you have to think , most fruits and veggies are pretty porous, you can see the pores on a lemon peel. THat stuff has to be soaking in more than a quick wash can remove.
Tried soaking a orange in hot water once to see if the wax would come off. It does but took a few minutes and doubt all of it even came off at the end.
With the possible exception of morphaline (and even then, lots of countries disagree), there is absolutely nothing in the video that suggests there's any reason to fear the coating. You should still wash your food before you eat it, but that's in order to wash away potentially harmful bacteria or parasites. The wax itself is totally harmless.
David Enrique even the video says morphaline is found in insignificant amounts in the wax
@sheldon pereira It can be.
There's a saying in medicine- the poison is in the dose. At high enough doses, pretty much EVERYTHING can kill you. Too much oxygen? deadly. Too much vitamin A? you're dead. Too much water? you'll be swimming with the fishes.
Conversely, almost every chemical is totally harmless at low enough doses. You could add a tiny amount of cyanide to every single drink you ever drink for the rest of your life, and you will be totally fine. Hell, your own body is constantly making countless different potions, from formaldehyde to the active ingredient in bleach, chemicals that will pretty much kill all organisms (not just fungi). That's why simply stating that a food contains a certain chemical is utterly meaningless. The real question is what chemicals are found at sufficiently large quantities to have any effects, and whether those effects' risks outweigh the benefits.
When I was younger, I remember being told to always wash fruits and vegetables before we eat them. I never thought that was important because I thought it was to simply remove dirt; the food looked clean. This information is so mind blowing that i'm washing my fruits and vegetables. I have water now to wash my food with so I'm anxious to learn about what solutions you find about removing the wax. This video gives another reason to buy organically grown foods, and, sadly, gives another reason why I believe the FDA and the USDA are not protecting the health of the public as well as they should and could. Thank you for this video.
fda doesnt care about the health of ppl. we have lobbyist that pay them off so they dont have to disclose whats in natural flavoring
The government is not here to protect us, they are here to take advantage of us and maintain/grow their level of power. It's sad, and I never thought I'd be "that guy" saying this stuff, but the more I learn the more I realize that this is how politics work. The systems put in place by the powers that shouldn't be are designed in a way that attracts intelligent but horrible sociopathic/psychopathic people to those positions of power. Ever notice how, at dead end jobs like retail and food service, managers tend to be the bossy and toxic people? Same for politicians, police, even military sometimes.
I have never in my living life even as a kid, not to wash my fruits and vegs prior to eating. Like... common sense? Before it reaches my hand, produce are being handled by god knows who and stored ar fod knows where.... who knows what germs these people had on their hands before I actually took the fruits home... yuckk... I wash everything. Also to wash off most of the organic or non-organic Monsanto pesticides.
I just used the method from the channel "Art Is In Cakes" about how to remove wax from apples and it worked splendidly.
Many fruit and vegetables spray washes on the market.
Nicole, I never knew anything about fruit coatings. Thank you for this episode. Your videos are always educational. Besides, it's always nice to listen to you :-)
Thank you for keeping me informed with facts!
The production quality of all your informative videos is just amazing. Idk if you have a team or you produce it all by yourself. Mad respect for all your hard work. 👍👌
This is coming from a Hollywood Visual Effects Artist.
Your videos are on the point and informative. Love them!
Great video. Thanks for the info. Very interesting ! Always wondered what was on the outside of my fruits and vegetables.
I had some store bought apples on my desk. After four months they still looked like new. I think it’s sketchy.
Me: An apple a day keeps the doctor way
Doctor: No More!
Correct!! After I learned from a Canadian study from the University of Montreal that citrus fruits that are coated in a substance that is known to cause cancer I am not taking chances on my health. I choose organic as much as I can!
And you can add that Morpholine is used in all coatings in the US and Canada, even for apples where you eat the peel... It has been banned here in Europe more than 30 years ago!
Thanks for the knowledge!!
All your videos are very informative and I just love watching them😍😍pls make videos on growing of more diff fruits and vegetables😊😊
Very nice topic Nicole.. Looking forward to learn about Organic produce from you..
Great episode! Thanks for the explanation. Looking forward to the organics video.
Loved it!
LOVED IT!
LOVED THIS VIDEO!
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
P.S. - When possible, please do a video about carobs and carob trees! Thank you.
I’m a little scared to buy food now lol. Now I’m going to grow my own.
self grown food tastes way better, fresher, and so much more energy. also, try researching what wild plants are edible in your area.
@@Christopher-be1qc It's also healthier. Most (if not, all) big agriculture companies deplete their soil of nutrients when they grow the same foods year round without a healthy permaculture habitat. Permaculture is the way. You need a fully autonomous ecosystem to maximize the health of the plants and, in turn, your body when you consume them.
Check out baker creek seed catalog I order all my seeds from there ! They have so many different things and free shipping ! My gardens are beautiful !
Hi :) I was wondering when your organic episode you mentioned at the end of this video will come out? Love your channel!! Thank you.
I like her english pronunciation skills. Very clear, concise, and the words are pronouce as exactly what it is in the cambridge english dictionary.

Don’t ever stop making your incredible videos. They’re very educating and they debunk so many myths that people believed for ages.
Thank you! Will do!
Lots of great information!! Thank you for sharing!!
I still like picking my veggies and fruits fresh from my own garden.
@@ericolens3 Basil can be planted in a deep container (12 in deep). It is the easiest thing to grow. There is still time. From seed or cuttings (rooted in water). They reseed easily too. Just remember to water.
Thank you for all of the information!
This is so incredibly interesting!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Another great video! Thank you for this. Keep it up!
I'm new to watching your channel, and love the content. I am using the information to learn about some of the new vegetables I want to try growing in my garden.
I used to work on an organic farm. And helped the farmer go through the process of being certified organic. I can tell you the process is not perfect and has many loop holes. While not all farmers take advantage of these and are instead dedicated to providing a quality and wholesome product, there are still those that do making it to be that you can't always trust the organic label. Because of this it is still best recommended to buy local from a trusted source. Thankfully there are changes being made to the organics regulations to eliminate some of these loopholes and provide more reliable and quality products to stores.
Keep learning and growing and cooking fellow foodies.
Hi Nicole thanks so much for the info. Always great to have you around. Do you know if any of these coatings are derived from animal fats?
I use beeswax soaked cotton linen as a reusable lid on my bowls and jars. Breathes and is antibiotic.
Thank you for all that you do!
Hi there,
Love your channel. I think, it is very informative!
If it is possible, can you make an episode of how to clean these waxed fruits and vegetables effectively?
Many thanks!!!!
A new anxiety has been unlocked
Awesome information! Thank you.
Lots of thanks ma'am for this information
Great information thank you for this!
Thank you sooo much for sharing this information.
thank you! You answered a lot of my questions.
I'm so glad!
@@TrueFoodTV Me too 😌
Amazing information. Thanks.
Good information. Thank you
New to your channel. This video and the one about olive oil were great. Very informative and entertaining. Thank you!
I live in Brazil, one of the countries with the highest content of agrotoxic components in the population's organism. Also the current Federal Government is approving each year, many more chemicals, with lots of carcinogenic compounds...
The information and knowledge about the chemicals we're using is very important, It's great that you brought the opinion from an organic producer on how he feeds his children...
It would be cool to make a video on how the pesticides and other chemical products pollutes water and soil, also how it can affect the health of farmers.
Thanks for all the information!!!
Something so many of us never think about. Wax? And yet you bring it to life. Very well damn spoken and I am beyond deeply, impressed. What a great direction for your channel to grow. Such wonderful content! You glow Nicole. You are so very pretty. That dress is so beautiful. I’m human and you are shiny. 😬 So? What do you know about “organic”? Can’t wait to find out. ❤️
Good stuff. Im from Ma and moved to NV and have a small organic farm.... did farmers market, but now its all for us....nice info...
Thanks! Very well explained!
Great Video, thank you for the info!!
This is very informative! Thanks TRUE FOOD TV!
Thank you for uploading this important video and saving lives🙂
Yet another very interesting video that has brought up US/UK differences. In the UK, the majority of citrus are labelled ‘unwaxed’; certainly all organic citrus is unwaxed. We are also brought up to wash fruit when we buy it because it’s rarely coated. Our apples, for example, are not shiny. Plums usually have their bloom still on them, as do other fruits, but I guess it’s true that the shelf life is shorter without artificial coatings. Do you refrigerate most fruit in the US? Here only bananas are kept in a fruit bowl full time; most fruit is kept in the fridge to preserve it until a few days before eating where it’s transferred to room temperature. Looking forward to the organic video as I’ve been brought up eating organic.
Always love hearing from you, Thomas. It's true -- the variety of unwaxed produce in the UK is far greater than here in the US, and it may be a reflection of that tighter policy toward chemical coatings. Even with all the coatings, we still tend to keep our fruit in the fridge until eating.
I live in London and more and more I see waxed fruit: very shiny apples and very shiny tangerine even costed with a synthetic orange colour! As I eat lots of fruits, it breaks my heart to see how they ruin it with chemicals and I don’y buy any if this. I stay away from shiny fruit.
It's always concerned me about grating waxed orange and lemon zest .
Thanks
YES! Looking forward to the "Organic" video!!!
Hoping "Organic" also means post-harvest:practices are ethical and safe for human consumption and good health.
Organic food production starts with an organ player in the farmers field.
Hi, this is one of my fav channel. Good to see u realeasing new vids. Thank you for the educating vids. Btw would you please make some vids about Jackfruit? It is one of my fav here jn Indonesia. Thank you :D btw is there any fruit contain protein?
Great video! Thank you!
Yaaaaaasssss!!! Keep up the great content and now I’m super hyped for your next video 🥳🥳🥳
This world is crazy , i thought eating healthy food is enough to be healthy but its far from that 😡
New knowledge on every video. Love you, Nicole!!!!
😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Right back at you, Laila!
Thank You!! Looking forward to the organic video.
I love it when you add the details about Fungicides and Emulsifiers with direct feedback from an actual fruit producer. Slow poising of the body with all the different chemical intake of regular fruits and veggies.
Red Wine has a lot of Nitrates. Gives me eye aches after one glass.
I have washed EVERY citrus fruits, Bananas, Vegetable,....well....everything, with warm water, soap & vegetable brush, since so started cooking at 13. Even then, I could feel a sticky substance, sometimes waxy, on the fruit or veggie. And I didn't want to peel or slice that substance into my food. My husband loved this informative episode! Thanks!
You skipped the fungicides part totally wich makes 1/3 of the content.
It seems as there should be more information about that too.
Very interesting. I had no idea amount the different waxes.
Thank you ... good information....
Oh so very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
I recently took a bite out of a apple that looked fine outside but was rotting already from the inside. Imagine my shock! I believe this is due to the wax also?!
AHHHHHHH
Very informative love your videos
that's why im quite concern when i use lemon peel zest for cakes/baking.
Just wash it.
@@AaaaNinja u can't wash away wax, try wash an apple as much as u could, then use a fruit knife and scrap out the wax, tons of it.
If you live in the UK, you can buy unwaxed lemons easily.
Otherwise you can try washing it with warm water and the emulsifier they add should also help wash it off I guess
Love this information, great video.
I began a Certified organic vegetable farm 4 years ago with zero experience, best decision I ever made.
There are so many benefits to growing your own, for community, planet and of course to health. Eat clean and local as much as you can.
Does washing off the artificial coating avoid ingesting the substance, or are they seeped inside the fruit? If so, is there any best practices for washing?
I have an autoimmune disease and I notice that whenever I travel to countries within the EU and even countries in South America, my autoimmune disease never flares up. However as soon as I’m back in the USA, I have flare ups immediately after eating.
Hey Nicole could you make a video about indoor plants.like how to grow them in the best possible way? Common diseases for indoor plants and how to treat them? Can we grow plants without the rooting hormones, is there any natural method to get the best?
Buy local food, organic would be better, that's how we can cut down the amount of chemicals you mentioned and support the farmers at the same time!
Totally agree !!!
Grocery stores where I live stock nothing but local food. Except for items that cannot be produced locally. I think this is the same for everywhere....
Please make video about black sapote.. Thankyou
I love your video!!❤
One of the organic sources: "candelilla", is unbelievable hard to farm, it's still a very misundestood plant.
Most excellent video. Clear, informative and entertaining. Well spoken and enthusiastic. New subscriber here! Wax on; wax off! Lol
Great video thanks 😃
Nicole. Real Knowledge 🙌
What about fruits that we remove the peel before eating, such as oranges, lemons, tangerines, etc.? Does it harm our health? Should we stop eating it? Thank you very much for this valuable information, which I did not know before. I am honored to follow you.
I have an idea about that, but don't know how it works. I Finally understand it now ☺️
I miss your content, hope you upload another one. I love when you are in a farm and knowing everything. 😉
I love this channel so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from Costa Rica! Nice to hear you mention us.
I've been to Costa Rica. Lots of free fruit trees.
Good information 👍
I love what you're doing.!! Thank you.!! God bless you 🙂
I LOVED the way you talked about this. Many people I know are very misinformed about subjects like these.
It's chemicals. I rather it rotten faster and look dull than to put those chemicals in my body
All I can say is: Your video is really entertaining! Keep it up! :)
This is why you should only buy organic food, from farmers before they spray this shit on. We mainly buy local food.
I have a question you know when it's sprayers come on when you're at the market around the fruit is that just water being sprayed on ? or is that got the wax solution in it?
can you do a “how does it grow” video on dragonfruit?
Awesome! Great video.
Love your videos!
