Shocking Truth: 3 DIY Ways to Strip Apple Wax Naturally!
12 January 2025
Shocking Truth: 3 DIY Ways to Strip Apple Wax Naturally!
In today’s world of mass-produced fruits, many consumers are unaware that most apples come with a protective wax coating. While this wax helps preserve the fruit, many people prefer to remove it for health and taste reasons. Understanding how to create a homemade apple wax remover can help you enjoy cleaner, fresher fruit with minimal effort.
Understanding Apple Wax: What You Need to Know
Commercial apples are typically coated with food-grade waxes like shellac and carnauba to extend shelf life, improve appearance, and prevent moisture loss. These waxes are generally considered safe by food regulatory agencies, but they can trap pesticides and reduce the natural nutritional value of the fruit.
The primary types of wax used include:
Shellac (derived from insect secretions)
Carnauba wax (plant-based)
Synthetic food-grade waxes
Why Remove Apple Wax?
There are several compelling reasons to remove the wax from your apples:
Pesticide Reduction: Wax can trap chemical residues from pesticides, making thorough cleaning challenging.
Improved Taste: Many people report a more natural, cleaner taste after removing the wax coating.
Enhanced Nutrition: Removing the wax allows better absorption of nutrients and can improve overall fruit quality.
Effective Homemade Apple Wax Removal Methods
Method 1: Lemon Juice and Baking Soda Solution
This natural method is both effective and gentle:
Mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of baking soda in warm water
Soak apples for 2-3 minutes
Gently scrub with a clean fruit brush
Rinse thoroughly with cool water
Method 2: Vinegar Wash
White vinegar provides an excellent natural cleaning solution:
Create a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water
Submerge apples in the solution for 5 minutes
Rinse with cool water
Pat dry with a clean towel
Pro Tips for Effective Wax Removal
To maximize your wax removal process, consider these expert recommendations:
Always use room temperature or slightly warm water
Use a soft-bristled fruit brush for gentle scrubbing
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials
Rinse thoroughly to remove all cleaning solution residue
Important Considerations
While removing wax can be beneficial, it’s crucial to understand that the process might slightly reduce the apple’s shelf life. Store washed apples in the refrigerator and consume them within a few days for optimal freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it absolutely necessary to remove apple wax?
A: Not mandatory, but recommended for those concerned about potential pesticide residues and seeking a more natural fruit experience.
Q: Can these methods be used on other fruits?
A: Yes, similar techniques can be applied to various fruits with waxy coatings, though specific methods might vary.
Final Thoughts
Creating a homemade apple wax remover is simple, cost-effective, and can significantly improve your fruit consumption experience. By using natural ingredients like lemon juice, baking soda, and vinegar, you can enjoy cleaner, fresher apples with enhanced flavor and potential health benefits.

Someone should do like Our World In Data except it's an explorable map where you can check various chronic diseases and see the rates by country, then you can also check various stuff like # of vaccines, types of approved vaccines, glyphosate legality, etc...

The Connection Between Fluoride, Aluminum, Glyphosate and Your Health
Why is fluoride in your water?
Why do vaccines contain aluminum?
Why are aluminum particles sprayed in the air?
Why is glyphosate sprayed on your food?
Allow me to explain….
Fluoride in Water:
Fluoride is added to water supplies in many countries.
But did you know it helps the body absorb more aluminum, pushing it into the brain?
Aluminum in Vaccines:
Aluminum is used in many vaccines to boost the immune response.
But aluminum actually binds to neurological tissue and is more neurotoxic than mercury.
Aluminum in Chemtrails:
It’s proven that aluminum particles are being sprayed into the atmosphere.
Glyphosate and Aluminum:
Glyphosate, the herbicide in many of our food crops, also helps the body absorb more aluminum.
The Impact on the Brain:
Things like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism are neurological disorders connected to aluminum buildup in the brain.
Numbers don’t lie:
Countries with the highest rates of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism are also the nations that fluoridate water, vaccinate the most and use the most glyphosate.

Anti-IP philosophy is rooted in a simple recognition that the state doesn't have any legitimate right to grant individuals monopolies over thoughts and ideas. It lays on the Authoritarian / Libertarian axis, not the left/right axis.

>especially if they're outside of US jurisdiction.
The vast majority of countries on Earth have signed the Berne Convention, meaning that your copyright is automatically recognized internationally, outside of a few third-world countries. Anyone getting way with violating your copyright has to be either living in one of those countries, remaining relatively obscure, or practicing good OPSEC.
Though I do understand that delayed open-source might be the best option, but I am reminded of Notch promising to open-source Minecraft and he instead sold it to Microsoft.
@gabriel
>Don't let net-zero weirdos turn you away from it.
It's not just them. It's also the ecofascists, neoluddites, and anprims.
It seems like a very few are able to appreciate both the natural and artificial world.
@beardalaxy Okay that is just straight-up laziness. They could've just included one song with lyrics and still have the entire game's dialogue be in text. Or they can just axe the signer and just have an instrumental band.
@bonkmaykr So I was reading your blogpost on your commitment to ethical business practices and I thought that I could make some suggestions:
>Publishers eventually give up and move onto the next money printer. I'm a huge WipEout fan, but SCEI doesn't make those anymore...a game series dies and it's legacy entries are all that's left
To prevent a franchise from dying, the best thing to do (imo) is to release the characters, settings, lore, etc under the public domain or to have a very lax fan-game policy where even commercial games are allowed (think Touhou). If one thing is to be "open-source", I think the franchise itself should be the one.
>Unfortunately, our early releases will still be proprietary for a limited period of time. There is sadly an increasing number of small shovelware publishers under fake names that recycle software from Git repositories or dump bytecode from projects and repackage them to sell for a quick cash grab, without any of the rights you ought to have.
You can simply have the code be open while having the assets being proprietary. Anyone using your code but with different assets would effectively have a different game all together.
If you are concerned about shady forks destroying your reputation, the 3-clause BSD license prohibits products from claiming that you endorse them and the zlib license requires that all modified copies to be plainly marked as such. To prove that the original code came from you, you can use pre-release builds along with Git commit time-stamps as proof.

@beardalaxy Voice acting means sacrificing the ability to name your character unless you have a pre-set list of common names or just have people refer to you by second-person pronouns.

This piece breaks down propaganda tactics, parallels to JFK’s assassination, and why media coverage may be a psyop. It explores how graphic footage is used for trauma-based mind control, historical precedents, and how to spot and resist modern thought control.

Forgot that this was going on today. It seems like everyone on the other side of the pond is distracted by the fake, Soros-backed protest.
@realcaseyrollins What's more insane is that you can say certain ethnic and homophobic slurs on the radio, but not that word.
FCC really only bans words with a sexual connotation.
@realcaseyrollins Forever. It's one of the seven words you can't say on radio.
