When a knife scrapes the surface of the apple purchased from a supermarket, some shavings will be scraped out. This makes people feel worried about whether they have health or whether they are artificial additives. An Apple farmer from Washington state provides an answer and explains the process of Apple from the place to the table, so that everyone can eat it with confidence. According to New York Post, Apple and pear farmer Kait Thornton is the fourth generation of the family. She and her father Geoff are located in Tonasket, Washington, with her father, Geoff. The sweet-looking Ket explains the reasons why there is ballast on the surface of the apple, and the video has accumulated 5.3 million views.
Ket said that now there are too many spread food safety fears. She does not want the food that people eat very often like Apple, which makes people afraid to eat, so she came up to explain the extraction process.
Kate shows two apples in the video. One is the apple that everyone will buy in the supermarket. The appearance is clean and clear. She used a knife to scrape off a layer of batter. The other is the apple that was just picked from the tree. There is also dust on the surface. The surface looks dirty and gray, and it is completely unpalatable. After Kate cleans the dust, he also scrapes the surface of the apple with a knife, and even scrapes the batter chips out.
@apple.girl.kaitNo, it’s not just to “make them look pretty.” although they do! A huge amount of food waste is prevented by applying a natural wax to fruits and vegetables after they’ve been scrubbed clean! 🧼 You can remove any wax by running your produce under warm water (don’t boil it, that blankes it), and drying off with a towel/paper towel! Here’s what a heavy majority of the waxes used are: 1️⃣ Carnauba Wax - Derived from the leaves of the carnauba palm tree. - Commonly used for its high gloss and durability. 2️⃣ Beeswax - Natural wax produced by honeybees. - Provides a subtle shine and protective coating. 3️⃣ Shellac - Derived from the residue secreted by the lac insect. - Often used to create a glossy finish and protective barrier. Ok, now I’ve helped you learn some new stuff… MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’ALL!🎄🎁❤️ ⭐️ Be safe, please PLEASE do not drink & drive. . #farm #apples #farmgirl #learnontiktok #farming #fruit #freshproduce #freshfruit #foodfacts #washington #pnw #christmas #merrychristmas #holiday #applegirl
♬ Elf - Main Title - Geek MusicKett said that what she scraped off from the surface of the apple she just picked was the natural apple slaughter, which is a protective layer naturally formed by many vegetables and fruits. The apple slaughter on the surface of the apple can help retain moisture, so that the apple will not become dry or naughty, making other creatures want to eat it after seeing it. This is very important for the reproduction of apples.
Kett said that the picked apples must be cleaned before being sold, and the surface of the dirt and chemical substances should be cleaned. At this time, the fruit basin will also be washed away. Therefore, after washing, another layer of food-grade basin should be smeared onto the surface of the apple to become a protective layer for the apple, so that the apple will not rot too quickly, produce fungi or lose nutrients..
Kett said that beeswax, shellac and carnauba wax extracted from carnauba palm tree leaf are the three most commonly used batters to add to the surface of apples, and they are not edible.
Many netizens thanked Kate for helping them attend a class and said they had learned precious knowledge; some netizens laughed and said they didn't know before, but it turned out that Apple had to go through "skin care" first to see customers beautifully.
