Bugs

Question

Can Rabbi Abadi please describe a way to show people that there are bugs in broccoli, cauliflower, etc.? What is the procedure for removing some bugs just to see them with the naked eye?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

Try soaking them in water with vinegar or salt for a while & shaking them a bit to release them. Then use a coffee filter to remove those little dots on top that you clearly see, since you know where & what to remove. You might then want to look real closely at them. Some are pieces of the vegetable, others are bugs. Hint: the ones with the legs are the bugs. Once you removed them, if you want to identify them more easily, then use a magnifying glass not to strain your eyes. AA
