Wax on fresh produce
If you ever thought that the fresh produce you buy at the grocery store is naturally shiny, you might want to think again. The reason that fruits and vegetables sometimes have this glossy appearance is that they’ve been dipped in wax.
That probably sounds a little concerning given the ways that wax is normally used. However, it’s not as big an issue as you might think. This wax is actually FDA-approved because it’s edible and helps prevent a loss of moisture in the food. Of course, if you still don’t want to eat it, the substance washes off in warm water.
