Remer, the marketing director of Ganzhiyuan, said that the development of fruit and vegetable washing salt has been brewing for more than a year.
Ganzhiyuan is a sugar brand.
At first, I was hesitant to develop this fruit and vegetable washing salt
.
Later, through a lot of research, it was found that pesticides harmed human health very seriously, and the high incidence of many diseases was related to this

I feel a little worried about using pesticides for washing fruits
