מבצע עלה נקי: החיים הסודיים של חרקים בסלט

Eating even one insect violates up to six Torah prohibitions. Modern pesticides no longer work — insects have developed immunity.

High-Risk Zones

Strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, and romaine lettuce are in the high infestation category.

Cleaning Method

Soaking in soapy water (Kosher for Passover) for 5-10 minutes is the only effective method. Simply rinsing with water is insufficient.

Inspection

Use a light box or bright light to check each leaf.
