snooggums , 10 months ago Some things benefit from a quick wash and others suffer depending on whether they have a protective covering that gets washed away. Blackberries and apples go bad faster after washing because it removes the protective barrier. Lettuce, celery, and strawberries last a lot longer if you wash them immediately because they don't lose a barrier that causes them to go bad faster. I know you said fruits, but fruits like strawberries don't fit the pattern.
