    Those I rinse. Bit difficult to wash each one individually.

    Meh…

    Sometimes.

    I usually get organic fruit and I also usually peel it first and cut it up.

    I’m not dead yet.

    I rinse it in case there is dust or dirt on it, but I don't wash it.

    I rinse it. At least most fruit. I don’t rinse lemons or limes. Not sure why, I never thought about it until now.

    Always, unless it's a fruit from the tree in my garden, I don't use any chemicals.

    Everything gets rinsed except bananas. Even things like lemons or melon because you are introducing any bacteria from the outside when you cut through the skin

    I wash everything extremely well even though most of what I consume is organic where pesticide use is limited .

    Usually not. Might wipe it down with a tshirt if it’s something like an apple but for example blueberries I can’t be bothered. Unless I’m giving it to someone, then I’ll give them a rinse.

    I eat it before I wash it. Don't ask me how, but I have a system.

    Always wash fruit and veggies. Always wash fruit and veggies before you eat it, even if you are going to peel it. If I buy canned items, I wash the container before using the can opener to remove the top. People sneeze, cough and handle these items with grubby hands, . How many times do I see people walk out of public washrooms and not wash their hands … those same people handle the veggies and fruit.
